Refrigerant Leak Detection
Recurring refrigerant loss calls for finding the leak rather than simply recharging the A/C again. Connections, service ports, pipes or heat exchangers may be responsible, including components hidden behind body or interior parts. We progress from inspection of accessible areas to a method suitable for the circuit's condition. Any additional access needed for confirmation is agreed separately. The result is either a localised leak or a clear account of the checks and their limitations, providing a basis for repair planning.
Symptoms
- Cooling weakens again after a previous recharge.
- Refrigerant loss from the circuit has been identified.
What's included
- Review the history of refrigerant loss.
- Inspect accessible ports, pipes and heat exchangers.
- Test for leaks using a method suitable for the circuit.
- Record the affected area and agree on next steps.
