AC Refrigerant Leaks and Recharge - San Jose
Here is the thing most people are never told. Refrigerant is not fuel. It does not get used up. A sealed system holds its charge for the life of the unit. If you are low, you have a leak.
What it usually turns out to be
Evaporator coil leak
$400 to
$1,200 Corrosion pinholes the indoor coil. Common on units eight to fifteen years old. Often the coil, not the leak, is the real cost.
Line set or fitting leak
$400 to
$1,200 Usually repairable. Best case on this list.
Leaking Schrader valve
$400 to
$1,200 Cheap and quick, and frequently missed by whoever topped you off last summer.
