What the job involves
Leak repair is two jobs in one: the technician first finds where the refrigerant is escaping, then fixes that spot. Finding it can take a handheld detector, a dye added to the system or a pressure test.
Refrigerant is not burned off like fuel, so a system that has run low has usually lost it through a leak. Leak repair stops the loss; a refrigerant recharge only adds refrigerant back. After the leak is fixed, the system usually needs refilling.
What moves the price
- Where the leak is
- A leak at an easy-to-reach joint on the outdoor unit is usually a smaller job than one inside the indoor coil, which sits behind panels and ductwork.
- Finding a slow leak
- A large leak shows itself quickly, while a slow one can take repeated testing. More search time adds to the labor.
- Repair or new part
- A leak in a line can often be repaired, but a leaking coil may be replaced instead of patched. A replacement adds the cost of the part.
- Refrigerant afterward
- The refill after the repair is billed on top in some quotes. The amount, and whether the system uses R-410A, the older R-22 or a newer type, changes that part of the bill.
- More than one leak
- Some systems, especially older ones with worn joints and coils, have more than one leak. Each one found adds to the repair.
- Repair guarantee
- Some companies guarantee a leak repair for a time and some do not. Find out what it covers, because a repair that does not hold means paying again.
