One Room Not Cold, Not Low Gas
Case Details
The Assessment
One-room cooling loss needs comparison first. We checked how the affected room behaved against the other rooms before calling it a system-wide issue.
- Other rooms were still cooling normally
- The affected room had weaker airflow and poorer cooling
- The pattern pointed to a room-specific indoor-side issue
- A whole-system top-up did not match the symptom spread
The Diagnosis
The problem was in the indoor side serving the warm room. Coil and airflow restriction in that room reduced cooling there, while the other rooms still performed normally. The symptom pattern did not support a system-wide gas issue as the first diagnosis.
Restore airflow and coil condition in the affected room first, then compare cooling again across all rooms before deciding on wider system work.
The Outcome
After the room-specific indoor-side issue was corrected, the warm room cooled normally again. A system-wide top-up was not the first fix needed.
Timeline
What This Means for You
One-room cooling loss often needs a room-specific check first.
- One room stays warm while other rooms still cool
- A whole-system top-up was suggested immediately
- The weak room also has weaker airflow or slower cooling
Ask for a room-by-room comparison before you approve system-wide repair scope.
