Refrigerant Leak Repair in Mobile, AL & Baldwin County
Is Your AC Losing Cooling Power? We Can Help!
The refrigerant in your air conditioner is what gives it cooling power. Without it, your AC unit would not be able to function properly. If your air conditioner is experiencing problems, especially when it seems like it’s not cooling enough, you may have sprung a refrigerant leak. Luckily, our Mobile AC technicians at Hembree Heating & Air Conditioning have the tools and skills to locate the leak and take care of it before serious damage is done to your AC system.
How Does a Refrigerant Leak Happen?
Refrigerant leaks can occur for a multitude of reasons. If you notice the refrigerant in your system is running low, your first instinct may be to add more, but it would be ill-advised. To prevent future issues, you must find out the cause of the low level to truly fix the problem once and for all.
Some of the most frequent causes of refrigerant leaks include:
- Incorrect installation- If the technicians who installed your system were not careful, the tubes could get pinched or punctured, and a leak can occur.
- Manufacturer issues- Defects directly from the manufacturer can also cause refrigerant leaks.
- Accidents- The tubing that carries your refrigerant could be accidentally punctured or damaged during another repair or inspection.
Regardless of the cause, a refrigerant leak that is left unchecked can cause serious harm to your AC system. If you suspect a leak, you should call a professional to check it out right away.
How Do we Locate the Leak?
One of the best reasons to trust our professional team of Mobile cooling experts is the skills and tools we employ to get the job done. With an electronic leak detector, we can quickly find the area where the refrigerant is leaking and begin the process to repair.
Once the leak has been pinpointed, we can repair the tube or suggest a replacement part to fix the problem. After the initial leak is taken care of, we can then examine the rest of your system to ensure no residual damage was caused by the low level of refrigerant in the system. Only once the issue has been completely resolved do we recommend adding more refrigerant.
