EPA Certified Leak Detection Proper Recharge

Call (213) 758-0889 All HVAC Services

Refrigerant leaks reduce your AC's cooling capacity, increase energy consumption, and can damage the compressor if left unrepaired. Our EPA-certified technicians locate refrigerant leaks using electronic detectors and UV dye testing, repair the leak at the source, and recharge the system to manufacturer specifications.

The Problem

How Refrigerant Leaks Affect Your AC

Refrigerant doesn't get "used up" — if the level is low, there's a leak. Even a small leak reduces cooling capacity significantly in Montebello's extreme heat. The compressor runs hotter and works harder with insufficient refrigerant, accelerating wear. A system running with a significant leak can destroy the compressor — turning a $200 to $500 repair into a $1,500 to $2,500 compressor replacement.

Our Solution

How We Handle Refrigerant Leaks

We never "just top it off." Simply adding refrigerant without finding and fixing the leak guarantees the problem returns — and you pay again. We use electronic leak detectors and UV dye methods to locate the exact leak point. We repair the leak (usually a failed service valve, corroded coil joint, or cracked line), verify the repair holds under pressure, evacuate moisture from the system, and recharge to the manufacturer's exact specification.

Common Questions

Refrigerant Leak FAQ

Leak detection and repair typically costs $200 to $600 including the recharge. If the leak is in the evaporator coil, the coil may need replacement ($800 to $2,000).

We don't recommend it. Adding refrigerant without fixing the leak is a temporary fix that wastes money — the charge will drop again. We find and fix the leak first.

Modern refrigerants (R-410A, R-32) are not harmful in normal residential concentrations. However, refrigerant handling requires EPA certification, and we follow all regulations for recovery and recycling.
