Check for these six leak warning signs
Catch the clues before water damage, higher bills, and system failure turn into a bigger problem.
Sudden spike in utility bills
A leak makes your system work harder. If bills jump for no clear reason, call us.
Detect it early
Hissing or gurgling indoors
Unusual sounds from walls, ceilings, or the HVAC unit often mean refrigerant or water is escaping.
Listen closely
Moisture or frost buildup
Damp spots, puddles, or ice on a warm day point to a leak in the system.
Check the unit
Strange musty or sweet smell
Odd odors from vents can signal mold from a condensate leak or Freon escaping somewhere.
Don't ignore it
Cooling or heating falls short
Rooms never reach the set temperature when refrigerant levels drop from a leak.
Test the airflow
Ice forming on the line set
Frost along the copper lines means low refrigerant, almost always from a leak somewhere.
Look outside

Refrigerant lines
We seal line-set leaks and top off refrigerant so your system cools proper, not just cool enough.
Drain pan
A cracked pan leaks water fast. We swap it before it damages ceilings, drywall, or floors.
Ductwork
Leaky ducts let conditioned air escape into walls. We seal the gaps so airflow goes where it should.
Evaporator coil
Corrosion or frost on the coil blocks airflow and drops efficiency. We clean or replace it as needed.
