Find the leak, not just top it off.
Air conditioners do not use up refrigerant. If it is low, it leaked. We locate the leak, repair it and recharge to the correct level so the system stops losing cooling power.
- Detection: Electronic leak detection and pressure tests
- Repair: Brazed joints, valves, line or coil repair
What it is, and why it matters.
Refrigerant circulates in a sealed loop, so a system that is low has a leak at a joint, a coil, a valve or a line. Adding refrigerant without repairing the leak brings the cooling back for a while, then the problem returns, and a system running low can freeze its coil and strain its compressor.
We find leaks with electronic detection, pressure tests and dye or nitrogen when needed, then repair the leak where it is practical. If the leak is in a coil that is old, we explain the options: repair, coil replacement or replacing the system. You get a written price for each path.
Four things done right.
Finds the source
Detection tools pinpoint the leak so the repair targets the real problem.
Charges to spec
The system is weighed or measured in to the right level, not topped off by feel.
Clear options
If the leak is in an aging coil, you see repair and replacement side by side.
Protects the compressor
Running low on refrigerant stresses the most expensive part of the system.
From first call to refrigerant leak repair.
- 1
Confirm the symptoms
We measure pressures, temperatures and airflow to confirm a low charge.
- 2
Locate the leak
Detection tools and pressure tests identify where refrigerant is escaping.
- 3
Repair
The leak is repaired and the system is evacuated and tested.
- 4
Recharge and verify
We charge to specification and confirm cooling performance.

Refrigerant Leak Repair: common questions
Can you just add refrigerant?
That is a temporary fix at best. If there is a leak the refrigerant will escape again, and adding more costs money without solving the cause. We recommend finding and repairing the leak.
Where do refrigerant leaks usually happen?
Common spots are brazed joints, service valves, evaporator coils and line set connections. The age and design of the system affect where leaks tend to appear.
How do I get an estimate for refrigerant leak repair?
Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. Photos of the equipment and its label usually give us what we need, and we send a written price. Larger jobs start with a short visit.
