Refrigerant Leak Repair & Rechargein Miami
Leak detection, repair and recharge to factory specification by EPA-certified technicians.
About this service
An air conditioner does not use up refrigerant. If the charge is low, there is a leak, and adding refrigerant without fixing the leak only postpones the same problem at a higher price each time.
We locate the leak with electronic detection, nitrogen pressure testing or dye, repair or replace the leaking component, and then weigh in the correct charge.

Refrigerant Leak Repair & Recharge: common questions
Can you still recharge an R-22 system?
Yes, with reclaimed R-22, but supply is limited because production ended in 2020 and the price reflects that. For a leaking R-22 system, replacement is usually the better use of the money.
Where do leaks usually occur?
Most often in the indoor evaporator coil, where corrosion creates pinholes in the copper tubing. Schrader valves, flare fittings on mini splits and rubbed line sets are other common locations.
