Refrigerant Leak Detection & Recharging

EPA-certified refrigerant leak detection, repair, and system recharging services.

About Refrigerant Leak Detection & Recharging

Low refrigerant is never a normal condition — it always indicates a leak that must be found and fixed. Wichita HVAC Pro's EPA Section 608 certified technicians use electronic leak detectors and UV dye tracing to locate even the smallest refrigerant leaks in your system. Once found, we repair the leak at its source before recharging your system to factory specifications using the correct R-410A or R-22 refrigerant. We do not simply add refrigerant without fixing the leak — this approach protects your equipment, the environment, and your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my AC low on refrigerant?
Refrigerant doesn't get used up — if your system is low, there's a leak somewhere. Common leak locations include the evaporator coil, service valves, Schrader valve cores, and brazed joints. We use electronic leak detectors and UV dye tracing to find even pinhole leaks before adding any refrigerant.
My R-22 system is low on refrigerant — can it still be recharged?
R-22 (Freon) is no longer manufactured and has become expensive. If your R-22 system has a leak, we can repair the leak and recharge with recovered refrigerant, but given the cost and the age of most R-22 systems (typically 15+ years old), replacement with a modern system often makes better financial sense. We'll walk you through the cost comparison.
How long does a refrigerant leak repair take?
Simple leaks at service valves or Schrader cores can be repaired and recharged in 1–2 hours. Leaks in the evaporator coil may require coil replacement, which takes 3–6 hours or may require a return visit if the coil needs to be ordered. We provide an upfront estimate for the complete repair before starting any work.
