Why Refrigerant Leak Repair Matters
When Your AC Is Low on Refrigerant, Everything Suffers
A refrigerant leak is one of the most damaging problems an air conditioner can face. Even a small leak forces your system to run longer, cool less effectively, and work under extreme pressure — all of which can lead to expensive compressor failure if ignored.
At Precision Air, we use advanced leak‑detection tools to pinpoint the exact source of the problem and repair it correctly the first time. Whether the issue is a worn line, a corroded coil, or a loose connection, we restore your system’s performance safely and professionally.
Common Signs of a Refrigerant Leak
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, your AC may be losing refrigerant:
- Reduced cooling or warm air from vents
- Ice buildup on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil
- Hissing or bubbling sounds near the outdoor unit
- Higher energy bills
- AC is running constantly but never reaching the set temperature
- Humidity levels are rising inside your home
Our refrigerant leak repair services are designed to quickly restore cooling performance and prevent further damage to your AC system
What Causes Refrigerant Leaks?
Refrigerant doesn’t get “used up.” If your system is low, it means there’s a leak somewhere. Common causes include:
- Corrosion from coastal humidity
- Damaged or worn copper lines
- Loose flare fittings or connections
- Vibrations are causing small cracks
- Failed Schrader valves
- Leaks in the evaporator or condenser coil
- According to the U.S. Department of Energy, refrigerant leaks can significantly reduce AC efficiency.
Our technicians are trained to find and repair leaks quickly and accurately.
