Understanding Refrigerant Leaks and Low Refrigerated Air

Losing refrigerant is never normal. Your AC system operates in a sealed loop; a loss of coolant means you have a leak that needs immediate professional repair.

Common Signs of a Refrigerant Leak: If you notice any of these signs, shut off your system and call an expert HVAC refrigeration repair technician:

  • Warm Air or Reduced Cooling Performance from your vents.
  • Ice or Frost on the copper refrigerant lines or Evaporator Coils.
  • Hissing or Bubbling Noises coming from the indoor or outdoor unit.
  • The system is Running Continuously but not reaching the set temperature.
  • Increased Energy Bills as the unit struggles to compensate for the lost coolant.
  • A greasy, oily spot near the outdoor unit, as refrigerant oil leaks out with the coolant.

Why Professional Repair is Critical: Simply adding more refrigerant (a "recharge") is illegal and only a temporary fix. We adhere to all EPA guidelines, ensuring the leak is found, permanently repaired, and then the system is properly charged to the manufacturer's specifications.

Our Advanced Refrigerant Leak Detection and Repair Process

Finding a tiny refrigerant leak requires specialized tools and technical expertise. Our licensed technicians follow a rigorous, proven process to provide a long-lasting solution.

Accurate Leak Detection: We use advanced electronic refrigerant leak detectors and sometimes UV dye or nitrogen pressure testing to pinpoint the exact location of the leak, whether it's in the evaporator coil, condenser coil, or refrigerant line set. This precise diagnosis is crucial for a permanent fix.

Comprehensive Leak Repair: Once the leak is found, we use professional welding and sealing techniques to permanently repair the hole or crack. If a major component like the evaporator coil or the entire line set is corroded or damaged beyond repair, we provide transparent options for component replacement.

Certified Refrigerant Recharge: After the leak is successfully sealed, we safely pull a vacuum on the system to remove moisture and contaminants, and then refill the system with the exact type and amount of refrigerant (such as R-410A) required to restore optimal performance. We do refrigerated air conditioner repair for all makes and models.
