Refrigerant Leak Detection Johannesburg

Refrigerant leaks reduce cooling capacity, raise energy costs and risk compressor damage. We use electronic leak detection to pinpoint the exact failure point — not just 'somewhere in the system'.

Fault Symptoms
  • [01]Gradual loss of cooling
  • [02]Compressor running longer
  • [03]Frost line receding on the evaporator
  • [04]Repeated regassing needed
Possible Causes
  • [01]Vibration fatigue at joints
  • [02]Corrosion
  • [03]Mechanical damage
  • [04]Poor previous repair
Professional Diagnostic Process

We use electronic leak detectors and pressure testing to locate leaks precisely, even on concealed pipework.

Repair Process

Once located, we repair the leak, pressure-test the repair, evacuate the system and recharge to the correct mass.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you find a refrigerant leak?

Electronic leak detection, UV dye and pressure testing — we locate the exact point, not a general area.

Can you just top up the gas?

We can, but a leak that isn't repaired will repeat. We recommend finding and fixing the leak first.

Is refrigerant leakage dangerous?

Most commercial refrigerants are low in acute toxicity but should be handled by qualified technicians with the correct equipment.
