AC Refrigerant Leak
Your AC slowly loses its cooling because refrigerant is escaping. A leak is the most common reason AC stops blowing cold and needs to be found and sealed, not just refilled.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just recharge it every year?
Recharging without fixing the leak wastes refrigerant, can harm the environment, and the cold air won't last — finding the leak is the real fix.
How is a leak found?
Technicians use UV dye or an electronic detector to pinpoint where refrigerant escapes, then replace the leaking part and recharge.
