COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION

EXPERT REFRIGERANT LEAK DETECTION FOR COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS IN ARIZONA

Reliable Refrigerant Leak Detection for Commercial Refrigeration

Refrigerant leaks silently destroy commercial refrigeration systems while costing businesses money through lost efficiency, frequent recharging, and environmental violations. Small leaks grow into major problems, refrigerant escapes slowly, compressors work harder, temperatures become inconsistent, and eventually systems fail completely. Finding and repairing leaks requires specialized equipment and expertise that goes beyond simply adding more refrigerant.

At Discount AC & Refrigeration, we provide professional refrigerant leak detection for commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems across Arizona. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors, UV dye systems, and pressure testing to locate even the smallest leaks in walk-in coolers, reach-in units, ice machines, and air conditioning systems. We identify leak sources, perform proper repairs, and restore systems to full refrigerant charge for reliable long-term operation.

Our Refrigerant Leak Detection Methods: Find It, Fix It Right

Effective refrigerant leak detection requires systematic investigation using multiple technologies. Leaks hide in condensers, evaporators, service valves, line sets, and fittings. Visual inspection alone misses most problems. We employ proven detection methods to locate leaks accurately before performing repairs.

  • Electronic leak detector scanning of all components
  • UV dye injection and inspection under black light
  • Pressure testing to isolate leak locations
  • Bubble solution testing for pinpoint identification
  • Thermal imaging for refrigerant migration patterns
  • Complete system evacuation and proper repair

Why Professional Refrigerant Leak Detection Protects Your Investment

Repeatedly adding refrigerant without finding leaks wastes money and harms the environment. Lost refrigerant reduces cooling capacity, forces compressors to overheat, allows moisture and air contamination, and eventually destroys expensive components. Proper leak detection and repair solves the problem permanently.

  • Eliminates ongoing refrigerant loss and recharge costs
  • Prevents compressor damage from low refrigerant operation
  • Maintains system efficiency and cooling capacity
  • Environmental compliance with refrigerant regulations
  • Long-term reliability through proper repairs

Clear answers to common HVAC and refrigeration questions.

1. How do I know if my system has a refrigerant leak?

Warning signs include gradual cooling loss requiring frequent recharging, frost buildup in unusual locations, hissing sounds near refrigerant lines, oil stains on components, compressors running constantly without adequate cooling, or visible ice formation on suction lines.
Adding refrigerant without repairing leaks creates multiple problems. The refrigerant escapes again, wasting money and harming the environment. Low refrigerant causes compressors to overheat and fail prematurely. Air and moisture enter the system through leak points, contaminating refrigerant and damaging components.
We use multiple detection technologies depending on system type and leak severity. Electronic leak detectors sense refrigerant in the air around components. UV dye injected into the system glows under black light at leak points. Pressure testing isolates sections with leaks. Bubble solutions pinpoint exact leak locations.
Yes, even small leaks cause serious problems over time. Reduced refrigerant charge decreases cooling capacity and efficiency. Compressors work harder and overheat, shortening their lifespan significantly. Low refrigerant allows moisture to enter the system, creating acid that corrodes components from inside. Small leaks grow larger as vibration and temperature cycles stress weakened areas.
Yes, EPA regulations require leak repair for systems losing significant refrigerant. Commercial refrigeration systems must repair leaks when annual leak rates exceed specified thresholds. Technicians must be EPA certified to handle refrigerants. Businesses face fines for venting refrigerants or failing to repair known leaks. Professional refrigerant leak detection ensures regulatory compliance while protecting your equipment investment.
Properly executed repairs using appropriate methods and materials provide permanent solutions. Brazed repairs on copper lines last the life of the system. Replaced valve cores, gaskets, and fittings eliminate leak points completely. However, vibration, corrosion, and stress can create new leaks elsewhere over time. Regular maintenance and prompt refrigerant leak detection when issues arise maintains system integrity and prevents catastrophic failures.
