Refrigerant Leak Repair — Protect Your System and Restore Cooling Performance

Fast, Accurate, and Code‑Compliant Solutions to Protect Your HVAC System

When your air conditioner or heat pump develops a refrigerant leak, the entire system is put under unnecessary strain. Cooling performance drops, energy bills rise, and the compressor — the most expensive component in your HVAC system — is forced to work harder than it was ever designed to. Left untreated, a small leak can quickly turn into a major repair. At Precision Air, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing refrigerant leaks with the accuracy, speed, and professionalism homeowners and businesses deserve.

Our certified technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to locate leaks precisely, repair them to code, and restore your system to peak performance. Whether you’re dealing with a slow leak caused by corrosion or a sudden failure at a connection point, we deliver long‑lasting solutions that protect your comfort and your investment.

Why Refrigerant Leaks Are a Serious Problem

Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your HVAC system. It absorbs heat from inside your home and releases it outdoors, allowing your system to cool effectively. When refrigerant levels drop due to a leak, the system can no longer operate efficiently. Common consequences include:

  • Reduced cooling capacity — Your AC runs longer but cools less.
  • Higher energy bills — The system works harder to compensate for lost refrigerant.
  • Ice buildup on coils or lines — A classic sign of low refrigerant pressure.
  • Overheating and compressor damage — One of the most expensive failures in HVAC.
  • Humidity issues — Your system struggles to remove moisture from the air.

A refrigerant leak is not a “top‑off and go” situation. Adding refrigerant without repairing the leak is not only ineffective — it’s against EPA regulations. Precision Air ensures every repair is done correctly, safely, and legally.

Common Causes of Refrigerant Leaks

Refrigerant leaks can occur for several reasons, and identifying the root cause is essential for a lasting repair. The most common issues we see include:

  • Corroded copper lines caused by age, moisture, or environmental conditions
  • Damaged or weakened line sets
  • Loose flare fittings or mechanical connections
  • Failed Schrader valves
  • Cracked evaporator or condenser coils
  • Improper installation from previous contractors

No matter the cause, our team has the tools and expertise to pinpoint the exact location and provide a reliable fix.

Our Refrigerant Leak Repair Process

Precision Air follows a detailed, step‑by‑step process to ensure your system is repaired correctly and restored to manufacturer specifications.

1. Advanced Leak Detection

We use electronic leak detectors, UV dye, and pressure testing to locate even the smallest leaks. Accurate detection prevents unnecessary repairs and ensures the problem is fully resolved.

2. Code‑Compliant Repair

Once the leak is identified, we perform the appropriate repair — whether that means tightening a connection, replacing a valve, repairing a line, or installing a new coil. All work is completed to meet or exceed industry standards.

3. System Evacuation and Recharge

After repairs, we evacuate the system to remove moisture and air, then recharge it with the correct type and amount of refrigerant. This ensures optimal performance and efficiency.

4. Performance Verification

We test pressures, temperatures, and overall system operation to confirm everything is running exactly as it should. You get a system that cools better, runs smoother, and lasts longer.

Signs You May Have a Refrigerant Leak

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection:

  • AC running constantly but not cooling well
  • Ice on refrigerant lines or the outdoor unit
  • Hissing or bubbling sounds near the system
  • Warm air coming from vents
  • Sudden spikes in your electric bill
  • Hot and humid indoor conditions

Catching a leak early can prevent major damage and save you from costly repairs down the road.
