HVAC Refrigerant Leaks

AC Refrigerant Leaks

Posted on February 9, 2025 • By OWA

Refrigerant Leaks in Split AC Systems

Refrigerant is essential to your air conditioner’s ability to cool. When a leak develops, the system loses capacity, runs longer, and can eventually damage the compressor. Only Way Air provides professional refrigerant leak detection and EPA-compliant repair for homeowners across Arlington, Fort Worth, and the DFW Metroplex.

Common Signs of a Refrigerant Leak

Ice Buildup – Frozen evaporator coils or copper lines often indicate low refrigerant.
Hissing or Bubbling Sounds – Persistent noise from the indoor or outdoor unit can point to a leak.
Rising Energy Bills – A system low on refrigerant works harder and runs longer to cool your home.
Warm or Weak Airflow – Air from the vents may feel lukewarm or less effective than usual.

Why Refrigerant Leaks Should Be Fixed Promptly

Protect the Compressor – Low refrigerant can cause overheating and lead to far more expensive failures.
Restore Efficiency – Even a small leak can reduce cooling performance and increase energy use.
Proper Environmental Handling – Refrigerant must be handled according to EPA guidelines.
Prevent Ongoing Loss – Simply adding refrigerant without repairing the leak is not a lasting solution.

Our Refrigerant Leak Repair Process

1. Leak Detection

We use electronic leak detection and proven diagnostic methods to locate the source of the loss.

2. Proper Repair

We repair or replace the leaking component instead of only adding refrigerant.

3. System Evacuation

After the repair, we pull a vacuum to remove moisture and verify system integrity.

We recharge the system to the correct manufacturer specifications and test performance.
