The independent heating and cooling company across Kentucky and the Ohio Valley
Refrigerant Leak Repair
We find and repair refrigerant leaks in home air conditioning systems across Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee and West Virginia. If your AC runs constantly but the air coming out feels weak, ice is forming on the indoor coil or the copper lines, or the system cooled fine last summer and struggles now, a leak is a likely cause. Refrigerant is not consumed, so a low charge means it escaped somewhere. Turn the system off if the coil is iced and call us to schedule a diagnostic visit.

What refrigerant leak repair actually involves
The job starts with locating the leak, not topping off the charge. We pressure test and use electronic detection or dye tracing to follow the refrigerant circuit from the outdoor condenser through the line set to the indoor coil. Once we find the failure point, we repair or replace that section, pull a vacuum to remove moisture and air, then weigh in the correct charge for your system. After that we verify pressures and temperature split while the system runs so we know the repair held.
What we check on the visit
We look at the whole circuit because leaks hide in predictable places. Common ones are corroded evaporator coils, rubbed or vibrating suction lines in basements and crawlspaces, loose service valve caps and Schrader cores, brazed joints at the outdoor unit, and line sets that were nicked during past work. We also check the filter, blower operation and airflow, since a restricted system freezes coils and stresses joints. If the coil itself is leaking in multiple spots, we say so plainly and lay out replacement options.
How we decide repair is the right call
We weigh where the leak is, how old the system is, and what refrigerant it uses. A single joint or a valve core on a newer system is a straightforward repair. A pinholed evaporator coil on an older unit running a phased out refrigerant is a different conversation, because parts get scarce and the same coil may leak again. We give you the location, the likely cause and what we would do next, then let you choose. We never just add refrigerant and drive away.

Can you just add refrigerant instead of repairing the leak?
Adding refrigerant without repair means the same amount escapes again, often within a season. We will always locate the leak first and tell you what it takes to fix it, so your money buys a lasting result.
Why is my indoor coil or copper line covered in ice?
Low refrigerant or restricted airflow drops coil temperature below freezing. Shut the cooling off, leave the fan on to thaw, change a dirty filter and call us. Running an iced system can damage the compressor.
How long does a refrigerant leak repair take?
Most single point repairs are done in one visit, including detection, the repair itself, evacuation and recharging. Coil or line set replacement takes longer and may need a parts order, which we confirm before scheduling.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call or fill in the quote form. We ask what changed, when it started, and what the thermostat reads. That short conversation tells us whether you need a visit today or tomorrow morning.
- Step 2
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the thermostat, the electrical side, airflow through the filter and ducts, and the equipment itself. We find the actual cause instead of swapping parts and hoping the noise goes away.
- Step 3
You decide before we work
We explain what failed, what the repair involves, and what we would do if it were our own house. Nothing gets replaced until you say go. Then we test the system before leaving.

Why homeowners call us
- Old houses and new onesWe are used to century-old homes with retrofitted ductwork and 1970s subdivisions with original returns. Tight crawl spaces, low basement headroom and odd attic runs are normal parts of the day for us, not surprises that stall the job.
- Built for the swingsHumid summers push AC systems hard and January freezes expose weak igniters and cracked flues. We repair for both extremes across the region, so the fix holds when the weather turns instead of failing the first hard week.
- Air conditioning and heating bothAir conditioner repair in July, heating repair in January, and the IAQ and airflow problems that hide in between. One crew that knows how your cooling and heating share the same blower and the same duct system.
- Plain talk, no pressureWe tell you when a repair makes sense and when replacement is the honest answer. No scare tactics about your BTU load, no upsell scripts. You get the condition of the system and a clear next step.
- All major brands, gas & electricEvery major HVAC brand, gas and electric, handled by an independent crew.
- Straight answersIf a system is not worth repairing, we say so, often right on the phone.
