Air Conditioner Leak Repair Brisbane – AH Air Conditioning

Why Choose AH Air Conditioning for Leak Repairs?

Refrigerant leaks reduce cooling performance and waste money on repeated gas top ups. AH Air Conditioning provides professional leak detection and repair across Brisbane. We find leaks accurately and repair them properly so your system holds its charge.

Brisbane’s climate means air conditioners work hard and are exposed to temperature extremes. Over time, joints can fail and coils can develop pinhole leaks. Our technicians use specialised equipment to locate leaks that may be invisible to the eye.

What to Expect from Our Leak Repair Service

Leak repair involves detection, repair, and system recharge.

• Pressure testing to confirm gas loss
• Electronic leak detection on all accessible components
• UV dye testing for hard-to-find leaks
• Repair of identified leak points

Leak repair duration depends on leak location. Simple joint repairs may take 2 hours. Coil repairs or replacements take longer. We provide time estimates after diagnosis.

Common Leak Locations

Air conditioner refrigerant leaks commonly occur in these areas:

• Flare joints where pipes connect to units

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does leak repair cost in Brisbane?

Costs vary depending on leak location and repair complexity. Simple joint repairs cost less than coil replacement. We diagnose the leak and provide a detailed quote before proceeding with repairs so you can make an informed decision.

How do you find refrigerant leaks?

We use multiple methods including electronic leak detectors that sense refrigerant, UV dye injected into the system that glows under UV light at leak points, and nitrogen pressure testing. Different situations call for different methods.

Is it worth repairing a leak on an old air conditioner?

This depends on the unit age, leak location, and repair cost. Simple repairs on systems under 10 years old usually make sense. Major repairs on older units, especially those using R22 refrigerant, may not be economical. We provide honest advice on repair versus replacement.
