AC Refrigerant Leak Repair in Katy, TX

Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your air conditioner—it’s what absorbs heat and makes cooling possible. When it leaks, your Katy home loses cooling power, bills climb, and the compressor is put at risk. TemperaturePro Katy-Cypress finds and repairs refrigerant leaks the right way, rather than just topping off a system that will leak again.

Here’s what to know about refrigerant leaks.

Signs of a Refrigerant Leak

• Weak or declining cooling – The system runs but can’t keep up.
• Higher energy bills and longer cycles – Low charge forces the system to work harder.
• Ice on the coil or refrigerant lines – Low pressure can freeze the evaporator coil.
• Hissing or bubbling – Sometimes audible near the leak.
• Warm air from the vents – A significant leak can stop cooling entirely.

Why Recharging Alone Isn’t a Repair

Refrigerant isn’t consumed—if your system is low, it’s leaking somewhere. Simply adding more (a “recharge”) without finding and sealing the leak wastes money, harms the environment, and lets the problem return. Modern systems also use specific refrigerants like R-410A that must be handled to spec. Our technicians use electronic leak detection to locate the source, repair it, and recharge to the manufacturer’s specification. For related issues, see AC not cooling and frozen AC coil repair.

We detect the leak, inspect coils, line sets, and connections, repair or replace the failed component, recharge to spec, and verify cooling performance.
