Leak
Repair
After successfully locating a freon leak our technician
will be able to make a repair and stop further refrigerant
loss as well as reduce chances of equipment failure. Most leaks are
repaired using a torch and 15% or 7% silver solder brazing rods unless
the leak is in the compressor terminal seal or
deep in the tube
sheets of a coil in which case the compressor or coil will
need to be replaced.
Steps necessary for leak repair:
- Recovery of refrigerant (remove old refrigerant)
- Actual repair
- Vacuum lines (remove air from sealed system)
- Re charge unit with new refrigerant
Repairing freon leaks will save money due to:
- No need to add refrigerant again since leak is fixed
- Unit will run less saving electricity
- equipment will last longer instead of prematurely failing
