AC LEAK REPAIR — LANCASTER, PA

AC not cooling because of a refrigerant leak? Just recharging won't fix it. Lancaster AC Repair Pro finds the leak, repairs it properly, then recharges and tests your system.

AC Refrigerant Leak Repair — Lancaster County, PA

Low refrigerant is the #1 cause of AC not cooling properly. But refrigerant doesn't "run out" — if it's low, you have a leak. Finding and fixing the leak is the only real solution.

Our AC Leak Repair Process

  1. Pressure check: Verify system is low on refrigerant
  2. Leak detection: Electronic detector + UV dye to locate all leak points
  3. Leak repair: Solder, braze, or replace fitting/component as appropriate
  4. Pressure test: Nitrogen pressure test to verify repair holds
  5. Vacuum: Pull system down to remove all moisture and air
  6. Recharge: Charge to manufacturer specification by weight
  7. Performance test: Verify proper temperature split and system operation

Common Leak Locations

  • Evaporator coil — most common on older Carrier/Lennox systems
  • Service valve fittings
  • Flare connections at line set
  • Condenser coil (from physical damage or corrosion)
