Air Conditioner Leak Detection and Repair

An air-conditioner leak may come from the connecting pipes, the evaporator (indoor coil), the condenser (outdoor coil), or outdoor-unit components such as solenoids, the four-way valve, or filters. The technician locates and repairs the leak, checks the system for leaks, evacuates it, and accurately recharges it with refrigerant (Freon).
