Most Refrigerant Leaks are Hard to Find, So Our Technicians Use Various Methods to Locate Them:
- Solutions can be used that bubble when placed on a refrigerant leak site
- UltraSonic Devices can be used that “listen” for the refrigerant leak
- Electronic Devices can be used that “sniff” out the refrigerant leak
- Isolate and Pressure test individual components to find the refrigerant leak
- Inject dye that travels through the system and makes it so the refrigerant leak can be detected with a UV light
Benefits of Refrigerant Leak Detection and AC Freon Leak Repair
Having a trained Acree technician locate and repair the refrigerant leak benefits you in many ways:
- Lengthens System Life – When refrigerant leaks out, oil that lubricates your compressor leaks with it. Not repairing that air conditioner refrigerant leak will dramatically shorten the life of your system.
- Lowers Utility Bill – Systems that operate with insufficient refrigerant will run longer to keep your home cool. Often times the AC refrigerant leak repair cost is recouped in energy savings.
- Saves You Money – Refrigerant costs are increasing more rapidly than ever due to EPA regulations.
- Avoids Costly Damage to Home – Due to insufficient refrigerant, your system may “freeze up” and the water created during the thaw can overflow and damage floors, ceilings, and walls.
- Irreparable Compressor Damage – Acid and contamination will damage your compressor, causing premature failure.
