What is a refrigerant leak repairs?

At Endeavor Heating and Cooling, we understand how crucial your HVAC system is to the comfort and efficiency of your home. Refrigerant leaks are a common issue that can significantly impact your system's performance. Left unaddressed, these leaks can lead to increased energy costs, inadequate cooling or heating, and potential harm to the environment. Here’s what you need to know about our refrigerant leak search and repair services.

The Role of Refrigerant in Your HVAC System

Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your HVAC system, responsible for absorbing and releasing heat to regulate your home’s temperature. It circulates through the system’s coils, changing between liquid and gaseous states to transfer heat. A refrigerant leak reduces this capability, leading to diminished performance and possible system failure.

Signs You Need Endeavor Heating and Cooling’s Expertise

Recognizing the signs of a refrigerant leak early can save you time and money. Common indicators include:

  • Reduced cooling or heating efficiency: Struggling to maintain your desired temperature? A leak might be to blame.

  • Higher energy bills: A system with a refrigerant leak works overtime, consuming more energy.

  • Hissing or bubbling sounds: These noises often point to a refrigerant line issue.

  • Frozen coils: Low refrigerant levels can cause evaporator coils to freeze, exacerbating system inefficiencies.

  • Unusual odors: Certain refrigerants emit a chemical smell if there’s a leak.

Our Refrigerant Leak Search Process

At Endeavor Heating and Cooling, we use advanced tools and techniques to locate refrigerant leaks quickly and accurately. These methods include:

  • Electronic Leak Detectors: Detect refrigerant in the air and pinpoint leaks with precision.

  • UV Dye Testing: Introduce a dye into your system, using UV light to detect the source of the leak.

  • Soap Bubble Test: A traditional yet effective method of identifying leaks by observing bubbles in a soap solution.

  • Pressure Testing: Pressurizing your system with nitrogen to detect hard-to-find leaks.
