Refrigerant Leak Repair in Palm Beach County
A refrigerant leak doesn’t just hurt cooling—it can damage the compressor and spike energy bills. Our AC refrigerant leak repair process is thorough and safe:
Accurate leak detection:
- Electronic leak detectors and UV dye to locate pinhole leaks in coils, Schrader cores, brazed joints, and line sets.
- Nitrogen pressure testing to confirm and isolate hard-to-find leaks.
- Visual inspection for oil staining at U-bends, fittings, and service valves.
Code-compliant recovery:
- EPA 608–compliant recovery of remaining refrigerant before repair, protecting your equipment and the environment.
Repair options based on findings:
- Repairable leaks: Re-braze or replace fittings/valves, swap Schrader cores, repair rub-throughs, and secure/reinsulate lines.
- Non-repairable coil leaks: Recommend evaporator coil replacement or, if warranted, condenser/line set replacement for system integrity.
- Line set issues: Replace or reroute damaged line sets to prevent repeat failures.
Proper evacuation and recharge:
- Deep vacuum to remove air and moisture, then weigh in the correct refrigerant charge.
- Verify superheat/subcooling and temperature split for optimal performance.
Documentation and warranty:
- Clear report with photos (when applicable) and options; any work requested is guaranteed in writing.
Signs you may have a refrigerant leak:
- Warm air or long run times to reach set temperature.
- Ice on suction line or evaporator coil.
- Hissing sounds at indoor or outdoor unit.
- Higher utility bills without a thermostat change.
- Reduced airflow and poor humidity control.
