AC Leak Repair, Located Before It Costs You More

Refrigerant moves the heat in your AC system. When it leaks out, the system loses its ability to cool, runs longer trying to keep up, and eventually damages the compressor from the strain. Most leaks are slow at first, then accelerate.

Our technicians find leaks with electronic detectors, UV dye, and pressure tests on both the high and low sides. Once we locate the leak, we repair the failed component or joint, vacuum the system, and recharge to the manufacturer specification. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s refrigerant program requires licensed handling of refrigerant, and our techs hold the certifications. Topping off without finding the leak is not a fix. It just delays the next failure.

Your AC Is Bleeding Refrigerant and You Are Paying for It

Refrigerant leaks show up in ways that get worse fast. If you notice any of these, the leak is already costing you money in energy bills and damage to the compressor.

AC running but barely cooling. Low refrigerant means less heat is being moved out of the house.
Ice on the indoor coil or the refrigerant line. Low charge drops the coil temperature below freezing.
Hissing or bubbling sound near the AC. Often the sound of refrigerant escaping a slow leak.
Higher energy bills. A leaking system runs longer trying to deliver the same cooling.
AC needed a refrigerant top-off last summer. If the system needed refrigerant before, it has a leak. Refrigerant does not get consumed in a sealed system.
Frost or oil residue on refrigerant lines. Oily film at a joint or fitting points directly to a leak location.
Sweet or chemical smell near the AC. Some refrigerants have a distinct odor when they leak in volume.

Refrigerant leaks do not heal themselves and they cost more the longer they run. The earlier we find the leak, the smaller the repair. Contact us at the first sign.

Refrigerant Work Belongs to Licensed Hands

Refrigerant work is regulated by the EPA, and it should be handled by a licensed HVAC technician with proper recovery equipment. Pure Plumbing & Air has been doing AC leak repair across Henderson and the surrounding valley since 2013. Our technicians hold EPA Section 608 certifications and use leak detection equipment that finds slow leaks other contractors miss.

We do not top off and walk away. Every refrigerant top-off without finding the leak is a temporary fix that costs you again next year. Our process is: find the leak, repair the failed component, vacuum the system, and recharge to the manufacturer spec. We tell you the cost on the phone before the truck rolls. No surprises at the door. Pure Plan Membership applies discounts on parts.

Licensed HVAC technicians. Nevada contractor licenses #77906 and #88741, working on Henderson AC since 2013.

EPA Section 608 certified. Every technician handling refrigerant holds the required federal certification.

Real leak detection. Electronic detectors, UV dye, and pressure tests. Not just topping off and hoping.

Proper recovery and recharge. We capture the existing refrigerant, repair the leak, vacuum the system, and recharge to spec.

Parts on the truck. Common fittings, valves, schrader cores, and leak detection equipment stocked for first-visit repairs.

Pure Plan Membership available. Members get priority scheduling and discounts on repair parts.

AC Leak Repair FAQs From Henderson Homeowners

Depends on where the leak is and how much refrigerant the system needs. A leak at a fitting is cheaper than a coil leak. Refrigerant cost depends on the type, with older R-22 systems running significantly more than newer R-410A systems. We provide the estimate before any work starts.

Technically yes, but that is not a repair. It is a temporary fix that costs you again next year and lets the underlying leak grow. EPA regulations under Section 608 require leaks exceeding 10 percent annual leak rate on residential systems to be repaired, not just topped off. We find the leak first.

A few hours for most leaks. Locating the leak takes 30 minutes to an hour depending on where it is hiding. The actual repair, recovery, vacuum, and recharge takes another hour or two. Most calls finish in a single visit unless a specialty part has to be ordered.

Vibration over years of run time loosens fittings and cracks copper lines. Coils corrode from acid in indoor air, especially in homes with cleaning products that off-gas chemicals. Schrader valves wear out. UV exposure ages outdoor components. Henderson heat accelerates all of it.

Depends on system age and where the leak is. A leak at a fitting on a 6-year-old system is an easy repair. A coil leak on a 13-year-old system that uses old refrigerant is different math. We bring you both numbers and let you decide.

In normal operation it is sealed inside the system and safe. A leak inside the home can be a problem in confined spaces, and some refrigerants displace oxygen. Outdoor leaks usually dissipate quickly. The bigger issue is that leaks always get worse, not better, and damage the system.

Newer systems use R-410A or the newer R-454B. Older systems use R-22, which has been phased out and is now expensive when available. We confirm the type from the unit nameplate before quoting, since the cost varies significantly.

Almost always yes, assuming the leak is the actual problem. Low refrigerant is one of the most common reasons an AC runs but does not cool well. Once the system is properly charged and leak-free, cooling capacity returns to spec and the system stops running constantly.

Sometimes you can spot one by oil residue at a fitting or hissing near the unit. But many leaks are slow and only show up with electronic detection or UV dye. The bigger issue is repair requires EPA-certified handling, so even finding the leak yourself does not solve the regulated portion of the job.

Heat is the main reason. Higher ambient temperatures mean higher refrigerant pressures, which stress fittings and joints. Run time is the second factor. Henderson AC units run for eight or nine months a year, so the vibration and pressure cycling that causes leaks happens more here than in milder climates. Dust and corrosion also play a role.

Members get priority scheduling and discounts on repair parts including refrigerant fittings, valves, and coil components. Annual maintenance visits during membership often catch slow leaks before they become full failures, which is when the repair is smallest.

Annual maintenance is the biggest factor. Coil cleaning keeps acid buildup off the copper. Pressure checks catch slow leaks before they grow. Schrader valve inspection prevents fitting leaks. Keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris reduces vibration. None of this is glamorous, but it works.

Older Whitney Ranch, Green Valley, and Pittman homes from the 1980s and early 1990s often have R-22 systems still in operation, and those systems leak more often than newer R-410A or R-454B systems because the line set fittings and components are older. Replacement R-22 is also expensive and being phased out, so the math on repair-versus-replace usually leans toward replacement when leaks show up on older Henderson systems.
