Central AC Leak Repair & Recharge
The Challenge
Warm Air at the Peak of Summer
With outdoor temperatures at 97°F, the central system was blowing barely-cool air and running non-stop. Pressure readings showed the charge 40% low — topping up without finding the leak would have been money vented to the sky.
- Refrigerant 40% low with a leaking flare fitting.
- Clogged condenser coil compounding the strain.
The Fix 
What We Did
- Electronic leak detection
Pinpointed the weeping flare joint at the condenser in minutes.
- Sealed, vacuumed and recharged
Joint remade, system evacuated and recharged to factory spec by weight.
- Coil clean and airflow proof
Condenser washed; a 22°F vent drop verified before sign-off.
Result
House back to 72°F within two hours, energy draw down by a third, and a leak-free system covered by our 90-day warranty.
