AC Repair
AC Leak Repair in Arlington & Grand Prairie, TX
A leaking air conditioner is more than a nuisance; it is a mechanical failure that kills compressors. We find and fix refrigerant leaks in Trane, Lennox, and Goodman systems to restore cooling and stop the cycle of expensive refills.

Identifying Refrigerant Leaks in North Texas Systems
When your system starts losing its cooling capacity, a leak is the first suspect. Many homeowners call us for AC Not Cooling Repair only to find their refrigerant levels are dangerously low. This usually happens because of formicary corrosion on the evaporator coil or vibration rubbing a hole in a copper line. Texas heat makes this worse because the system runs longer and under higher pressure.
You might notice a sweet, chemical smell or ice forming on the outdoor brass valves. Some units will make a bubbling or hissing sound near the indoor closet or attic unit. Do not ignore these signs. Low refrigerant causes the compressor to overheat and eventually seize up. That is a much more expensive fix than a simple patch.
High-Tech Leak Detection and Nitrogen Testing
We do not just guess where the gas is escaping. Our NATE-certified techs use electronic leak detectors, often called sniffers, that can sense parts-per-million of R-410A or older R-22. If the leak is small, we use a nitrogen isolation test. We empty the system and fill it with high-pressure nitrogen to see which component loses pressure over time.
This method is foolproof for finding leaks in Trane or Carrier coils hidden deep in your ductwork. We also check the service valves and schreader cores, which are common failure points in the DFW wind and dust. We find it the first time. No more guessing games with your comfort.
Permanent Repair Solutions Instead of Quick Fixes
Adding freon every summer is a waste of your money. Refrigerant is a closed system; if it is low, there is a hole that needs fixing. We provide a full Air Conditioning Repair that targets the root cause. This might involve brazing a joint with silver solder or replacing a rusted drain pan that caused the coil to fail.
For older systems using R-22, we discuss the cost-benefit of a repair versus an upgrade. Since R-22 is phased out, the gas alone can cost more than the labor. We keep Honeywell and Nest compatible parts on hand to ensure your entire control system handles the pressure correctly after the repair. Quality repairs protect your equipment.
Protective Maintenance and Coil Integrity
The best way to avoid a leak is keeping your coils clean. Dirt and grime hold moisture against the copper, leading to those tiny pinholes that bleed gas. During a standard Air Conditioner Repair or tune-up, we inspect the condition of your fins. We look for oil spots which almost always indicate a refrigerant leak nearby.
Boost Air And Plumbing has handled these issues for over 10 years across Arlington, Grand Prairie, and DFW. We hold both TDLR HVAC and TSBPE plumbing licenses, so we understand the full mechanical footprint of your home. If your AC is struggling, let us check the pressures. We will get your home cold again without the constant topping off.
