About Refrigerant Leaks and Recharge
Low refrigerant means a leak. We find it instead of topping it off
Refrigerant circulates in a sealed loop. If the charge is low, there is a leak somewhere, and just adding more is a short-term patch that costs more over time and is bad for the environment.
We test for the leak, show you where it is and explain whether repair makes sense. For older systems that use a refrigerant that is no longer produced, we also explain what that means for the cost of keeping the system going.
- Leak detection, not just a top-off
- Clear explanation of repair options
- Careful handling of refrigerant
- Honest advice about older systems

Good to Know
Questions About Refrigerant Leaks and Recharge
Still have a question?
Why does my air conditioner need refrigerant?
A properly working system does not use up refrigerant. If it is low, there is a leak that should be found and repaired.
Can you just add refrigerant?
We can, but we recommend finding the leak first. Topping off without a repair is a temporary and costly fix.
My system uses an older refrigerant. What are my options?
Options include repair, a conversion in some cases or replacement. We explain the realistic costs and benefits of each.
