Diagnosing the Roof Unit Refrigerant Leaks
A commercial roof unit serving a property in the Southern California area had developed refrigerant leaks that reduced cooling capacity. Our technicians performed a thorough inspection using electronic leak detectors and pressure testing to locate the affected coils and connections without unnecessary disassembly.
Repair Process for the Roof Unit
Once the leak points were confirmed, the team recovered remaining refrigerant, replaced damaged sections of line set and coil fittings, then brazed new joints. The system was pressure-tested again, evacuated to remove moisture, and recharged with the correct refrigerant amount specified by the manufacturer. All work followed current EPA guidelines for handling refrigerants.
Why Prompt Repair Matters
Addressing refrigerant leaks quickly prevents compressor damage, lowers operating costs, and maintains consistent indoor temperatures. Continuing to run a leaking system can lead to higher energy use and eventual equipment failure, especially during peak summer months in the Chino Hills area.
Results and Ongoing Reliability
After the repairs, the roof unit returned to full cooling capacity with stable pressures and no detectable leaks. The customer now benefits from reliable performance and improved efficiency. Regular maintenance checks can help catch similar issues early. Contact BOMING Air Conditioning & Heating to schedule an inspection of your roof unit.
