Every air conditioning system loses a small amount of refrigerant over years of normal use. If yours has gone from cold to warm inside a single season, it has a leak — and putting gas back in without finding it is money poured onto the driveway.
We pressurise the system with dry nitrogen, which is inert, moisture-free and far cheaper to lose than refrigerant, then listen and soap-test for the escape. Where the leak is slow or hidden behind the dash we charge with UV dye and return with a black light, or trace it with an electronic halogen detector.
You get told where the leak is and what it costs to fix before any repair starts. If the system will not hold nitrogen at all, we will say so rather than sell you a re-gas that is warm again by Christmas.
