How a typical job runs
-
1
Pressure test
We check current pressure against what the unit should be reading at rest and under load.
-
2
Leak check
Accessible joints and the indoor coil are checked for obvious signs of a slow leak.
-
3
Recharge
Refrigerant is weighed in to the figure specified on the unit's data plate, then the system is tested under running load.
Why clients come back
Weighed, not estimated
We charge by weight against the manufacturer's figure rather than by eye, which avoids over or under-charging.
Leak awareness
If a leak is found, we tell you rather than simply topping up and leaving the same problem to recur.
Restores cooling output
Low refrigerant is one of the most common reasons a unit runs but barely cools.
Questions about this service
Why does refrigerant run low?
It is a sealed system, so low refrigerant almost always points to a small leak somewhere in the pipework or joints.
Can you guarantee the leak is fixed?
We fix leaks we can locate and access, but some leaks inside a sealed coil require coil replacement, which we would quote separately.
How long does a recharge take?
Typically one to two hours including the pressure test and post-charge run.
