Refrigeration system leak check and recharge
Is Your Refrigeration System Low on Charge? In commercial refrigeration, refrigerant doesn’t get «used up»—it escapes through leaks. Simply adding more refrigerant is an illegal, temporary, and costly band-aid. We perform EPA-compliant leak detection, provide permanent repairs, and recharge your system to exact specifications, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
01.
Advanced Electronic & Ultrasonic Leak Detection
We use state-of-the-art electronic halogen detectors and ultrasonic listening devices to pinpoint even the smallest leaks in complex commercial systems, including condensers, evaporators, receiver tanks, solenoid valves, and soldered joints.
02.
Fluorescent Dye Injection & UV Tracing
For persistent or intermittent leaks in hard-to-reach areas, we inject a compatible fluorescent dye into the system. After a short run time, we use UV lights to make the leak source glow brightly, allowing for precise, visual confirmation before repair.
03.
EPA-Compliant Recovery, Repair & Recharge
We safely recover all remaining refrigerant into approved cylinders. After performing the necessary permanent repair (brazing, component replacement), we evacuate the system to a deep vacuum to remove moisture and non-condensables before recharging with the exact type and amount of refrigerant required.
04.
Complete System Performance Analysis
A proper recharge is more than adding gas. We verify superheat, subcooling, compressor amp draw, and temperature differentials to ensure the entire system is operating efficiently and safely after the repair.
