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.

Refrigerant Maintenance in and Around the West Palm Beach Metro Area

Preventive steps keep your system efficient and reduce the risk of emergency leaks during peak heat:

Annual performance check: Verify superheat/subcooling, temperature split, and airflow to spot early charge or airflow issues.

Coil and filter stewardship: Clean evaporator/condenser coils and replace filters on schedule to reduce operating pressures and stress.

Vibration and rub-through prevention: Inspect line set supports and insulation to prevent metal-on-metal contact that can cause pinhole leaks.

Valve and cap inspection: Check service ports, caps, and Schrader cores for slow seepage and replace when needed.

Drain and safety checks: Treat/flush condensate lines and test float switches to prevent shutdowns and water damage.

EPA guidance and refrigerant type review: Discuss R-22 phase-out implications and options to avoid repeated costly top-offs on obsolete systems.

Maintenance benefits for Palm Beach County homes:

Lower risk of mid-summer no-cool calls.

Refrigerant Installation & Replacement In and Around the West Palm Beach Metro Area

When a repair requires adding refrigerant—or when a system upgrade is smarter—we handle your refrigerant service the right way:

Right refrigerant for your system: We match the refrigerant type (R-410A, R-32, or legacy R-22 systems) to manufacturer specs; we’ll explain limitations and costs if your system uses phased-out R-22.

Precise charging: Weigh-in charge to manufacturer requirements, confirm with superheat/subcooling, and verify temperature split.

Moisture removal: Deep vacuum and micron-level verification to protect oil, compressor, and metering devices.

Line set best practices: Replace contaminated or damaged line sets, or thoroughly flush manufacturer-approved lines for compatible conversions.

Retrofit and replacement options: For older, leak-prone systems (especially R-22), we present repair vs. replace options with upfront pricing and Financing Available on approved credit.

Final commissioning: Document performance readings and provide an easy-to-understand summary of what we did and why.

What to know about “Freon” recharge:
Recharging without fixing the leak is a short-term patch and could be illegal depending on circumstances. We focus on finding and fixing the leak first, then properly recharging so you get lasting results and stay compliant.
