Signs You Have A Refrigerant Leak
Loss Of Cooling Power:
Your system must work harder to cool your property as the refrigerant levels drop. If you notice a gradual change in the temperature in your home, it can signal a leak.
Formation Of Ice Or Frost:
If you notice ice or frost around the evaporator coil it can be a symptom of a leak. As refrigerant leaks out of your system and the charge drops too low, it can prevent the evaporator coil from absorbing heat to warm the cold refrigerant, leading to frost and ice.
Hissing Sounds:
If you hear a hissing sound coming from your unit, it can signal a leak. Even a small, pin-needle-sized leak can cause a hissing sound.
