Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detection
If your A/C isn't cooling as well as it used to, refrigerant loss is the most common cause. We scan the entire system with a calibrated electronic leak detector — fittings, hoses, the condenser, evaporator, compressor shaft seal, and every connection — to pinpoint exactly where the leak is before any refrigerant is added.
Leak Detection
Electronic detection vs. UV dye
UV dye requires adding dye to the system, waiting for refrigerant to circulate, then using a UV light to spot the dye where it leaked. It works, but it requires adding dye (some OEMs advise against this for certain compressors), and it takes time for the dye to circulate. Electronic detection is immediate, requires nothing added to the system, and is sensitive to refrigerant vapour concentrations well below what the human nose can detect.
Full system scan
We scan every potential leak point: all fittings and connections, the high and low side hoses, the condenser core and inlet/outlet fittings, the evaporator drain area, the compressor shaft seal, and the service ports. Leak location is documented and provided to you or your mechanic for repair.

Every job is different — vehicle, refrigerant type, location, and condition all factor in. We give a clear quote up front so you know the cost before we start. On-site service usually beats the total cost of a shop visit once you add in transport and down-time.
