Refrigerant Leak Repair in Collinston, LA
Refrigerant leak repair in Collinston, LA starts with a simple fact: a central AC system is sealed. It does not use up refrigerant. If the charge is low, it leaked out somewhere, and adding more without finding the leak means paying for the same refrigerant twice.
Our crew traces leaks with an electronic detector first, then bubble solution to pinpoint the spot. Common leak points on central air systems are the Schrader valve cores at the service ports, flare nuts on the line set, the U-bends of an evaporator coil where formicary corrosion eats pinholes in the copper, and the brazed joints at the condenser. Slow leaks sometimes need UV dye and a return visit.
Once the leak is fixed we pull a vacuum down to 500 microns, confirm it holds, and weigh in the charge to the nameplate spec. That process matters more than the refrigerant itself.
Older systems running R-22 are a separate conversation. R-22 has not been produced or imported in the US since 2020, so what is left is reclaimed stock and it is expensive. We'll give you the cost to repair next to the cost to replace so you can decide. Call (866) 703-1217.
