How much does leak detection cost?

$185 for a full nitrogen-pressure leak search. Credited toward repair if you authorize the work.

Can you fix an evaporator coil leak?

Coil leaks usually require coil replacement ($1,400–$2,500 typical). If the system is over 10 years old or uses R-22, we'll show you the math for replacement.

Do you still work on R-22 systems?

Yes — we recover, repair, and recharge R-22 on existing equipment. We do not install new R-22 systems (production banned in 2020).

If your AC needs refrigerant every spring, it has a leak. Adding refrigerant without finding the leak is not a repair — it's a $400/year subscription to slowly destroying a compressor and venting ozone-depleting (or high-GWP) refrigerant into the atmosphere. The EPA actually requires leak repair on systems above 50 lbs of refrigerant, and we follow the same standard on residential systems.
