Refrigerant Doesn't Just Disappear
Your AC system is a sealed loop — refrigerant circulates but is never consumed. If your system is low on refrigerant, it has a leak. Simply adding more refrigerant without finding and fixing the leak is like filling a bucket with a hole in it. You'll be paying for another recharge in weeks or months, and running a system low on refrigerant damages the compressor over time. Quality Comfort takes the right approach: find the leak, fix it, then recharge.
Advanced Leak Detection Methods
Refrigerant leaks can be maddeningly difficult to locate. Some are pinhole-sized and only leak under operating pressure. We use multiple detection methods depending on the situation: electronic refrigerant leak detectors (which sense refrigerant molecules in the air near a leak point), UV fluorescent dye (injected into the system and visible under UV light at the leak location), nitrogen pressure testing, and soap bubble testing on accessible joints and connections. The right method depends on where we suspect the leak.
Repair or Replace the Leaking Component
Once located, some leaks can be repaired with brazing — particularly leaks at solder joints, service valves, or accessible tubing connections. Leaks in the evaporator coil or condenser coil often mean the coil needs replacement, as these internal leaks tend to recur. We'll explain your options and help you decide between a targeted repair and a broader solution based on your system's age and condition.
HVAC Challenges in Fletcher
Fletcher's location along the I-26 corridor brings steady development with new homes and commercial properties that need properly designed HVAC systems. The area near the Asheville Regional Airport has more commercial HVAC demand than surrounding residential communities. Fletcher's mix of 1990s-era subdivisions and new construction means many homeowners are facing their first major system replacement.
Seasonal Tip for Fletcher Homeowners
If you're in a Fletcher home built in the 1990s–2000s, your original HVAC system is likely at or past its expected lifespan. R-22 refrigerant (used in systems installed before 2010) is no longer manufactured — if your system still uses R-22, now is the time to plan a replacement before your next breakdown becomes an emergency.
