Refrigerant Leak Detection and Repair

Refrigerant leaks are the second most common AC issue in Tampa after capacitor failures. Simply recharging refrigerant without finding and fixing the leak is a temporary band-aid — you'll lose it again within weeks. We use electronic leak detectors and UV dye testing to pinpoint the exact leak location before repair.

Our Leak Repair Process

  • Electronic leak detection — pinpoints leaks to the exact joint or coil section
  • UV dye testing for slow, hard-to-find leaks
  • Nitrogen pressure testing to verify repair integrity
  • Coil repair or replacement when needed
  • Proper refrigerant recharge to manufacturer specifications
  • System performance verification after repair

R-410A vs R-22: Why It Matters for Your Tampa Home

If your AC uses R-22 (Freon), refrigerant costs have skyrocketed — $75–$150 per pound vs $15–$25 for R-410A. A typical leak repair with R-22 recharge can cost $500–$1,500 just for the refrigerant. If your R-22 system has a major leak, replacement often makes more financial sense than repeated expensive recharges.

FAQ

Refrigerant Leak Repair FAQs

Leak detection: $150–$300. Simple repair + recharge: $300–$800. Coil replacement: $800–$2,500. R-22 systems cost more due to refrigerant pricing.

Signs: AC blowing warm air, ice forming on refrigerant lines or coils, hissing sound near the outdoor unit, higher-than-normal electric bills.

We can, but without fixing the leak it's a temporary fix. The refrigerant will leak out again — weeks or months. We always recommend finding and repairing the leak.

In a well-ventilated home, small leaks aren't acutely dangerous. However, prolonged operation with low refrigerant can destroy your compressor — a $1,500–$3,000 repair.
