Professional Refrigerant Leak Detection & Repair

Your air conditioner relies on refrigerant to absorb heat and keep your home cool. When that refrigerant begins to leak, your system may struggle to reach the temperature you’ve set, run longer than usual, or stop cooling effectively altogether.

Because refrigerant leaks aren’t always easy to spot, it’s important to have your system inspected as soon as you notice a change in performance. Our NATE-certified technicians here at Christian Brothers A/C, Plumbing & Electrical can locate the source of the leak, explain what’s happening, and recommend the right repair to help restore reliable cooling.

How to Detect a Refrigerant Leak

A refrigerant leak can cause several symptoms, but many of them can also point to other AC problems. We’ll inspect your system and confirm what’s causing the issue before recommending a repair.

Common warning signs include:

If your system was recently recharged but quickly lost cooling performance again, there may be an active leak that needs to be repaired.

Why Professional Service Is Always Recommended

Adding more refrigerant without fixing the leak won’t solve the underlying problem. Refrigerant will continue to escape, and your AC may experience reduced efficiency, added strain, or damage to major components.

Our technicians have the tools and training to inspect your system and determine whether the affected component can be repaired or needs to be replaced. Once the repair is complete, we’ll test your AC to make sure it’s operating properly.

How to Prevent Future Leaks

Not every refrigerant leak can be prevented, but regular AC maintenance can help us catch wear, corrosion, loose connections, and other developing concerns before they turn into larger problems.

You can also help protect your system by keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris, replacing dirty filters, and scheduling service when your AC starts cooling differently. Addressing small performance changes early may help you avoid a more expensive repair later.

Frequently Asked Questions About Refrigerant Leaks

How can I tell if my AC has a refrigerant leak?

Your AC may blow warm air because of a dirty filter, low refrigerant, frozen coil, thermostat issue, or failed component. If adjusting the thermostat and replacing the filter don’t solve the problem, you’ll likely need an AC repair.

Can I keep running my AC with a refrigerant leak?

You shouldn’t continue running your AC if you suspect a refrigerant leak. Low refrigerant can reduce cooling, make the system work harder, and potentially damage the compressor. We recommend turning the system off and scheduling an inspection promptly.

Can you add refrigerant without repairing the leak?

Adding refrigerant may restore cooling temporarily, but it won’t correct the source of the problem. We’ll locate the leak and explain whether it can be repaired before recharging the system to the proper level.

How much does it cost to repair an AC refrigerant leak?

The cost depends on where the leak is located, how accessible it is, which component is affected, and what type of refrigerant your system uses. Once we’ve inspected your AC, we’ll explain the problem and provide your repair options before work begins.

Can an AC refrigerant leak be repaired, or will I need a new system?

Many refrigerant leaks can be repaired, especially when the affected area is accessible, and the rest of the system is in good condition. AC replacement may make more sense if your AC is older, uses an outdated refrigerant, or has a leaking coil that’s expensive to replace. We’ll help you compare both options based on your system’s condition.
