Refrigerant leaks at Schrader valves and coils
Why it happens here
Older systems in Zephyrhills Colony have been charged and recharged over the years, and Schrader valves and coil joints weaken with age. Sandy grit and vibration speed up the wear. A slow leak means the system runs longer and cools less each month.
Our approach
We use an electronic leak detector and pressure testing to find the exact leak point, not just top off the charge. We repair the leak, evacuate with a vacuum pump, and recharge to the manufacturer's spec with R-410A or R-32. Topping off without fixing the leak just delays the next call.
