A Greenwood Comfort Club (our maintenance plan) member had leak stop and refrigerant added on an earlier visit, but the system stopped cooling again.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician tracked the problem to a leak at an accessible copper fitting. Leak stop products and extra refrigerant can buy time, but they do not fix a leak that keeps letting refrigerant (the fluid that carries heat out of your home) escape.
What We Completed
- Found the leak at an accessible copper fitting.
- Recovered the refrigerant and repaired the leak.
- Installed a new liquid line drier (a filter that catches moisture and debris).
- Pulled a vacuum and recharged the system with R-410A.
The Result
The leak was repaired at the source and the system was recharged, instead of just adding more refrigerant. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Leak stop is not a repair. If the system keeps losing refrigerant, the leak needs to be found.
- Adding refrigerant over and over adds up. Fixing the leak usually costs less in the long run.
- A new drier helps protect the system. It catches moisture after the system is opened.
