Refrigerant Leak Repair in Fort Worth & the DFW Metroplex

We find and repair leaks in indoor and outdoor coils and refrigerant lines, instead of just adding more refrigerant.

Call (817) 935-8540

Quick answer

If your AC keeps losing its cool or needs refrigerant every year, Family First Comfort finds and repairs the leak instead of just topping it off. We locate leaks in indoor and outdoor coils and refrigerant lines across Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the DFW Metroplex, and give you one flat price before any repair.

An air conditioner doesn't use up refrigerant. If yours is low, it's leaking, and adding more only buys time. The leak keeps going, your system works harder, and you end up paying for refrigerant again.

We track down where the refrigerant is escaping, whether that's the indoor evaporator coil, the outdoor condenser coil, or a line or fitting, and then repair or replace the part that's failing.

Sometimes a leak is in a spot that isn't worth repairing, especially on an older system. When that's the case, we'll tell you plainly and walk you through the options before you spend money.

Signs You Need Refrigerant Leak Repair

  • The AC runs but the air from the vents isn't cold
  • Ice forms on the indoor coil or the refrigerant line
  • A hissing or bubbling sound near the indoor or outdoor unit
  • You've needed a refrigerant recharge more than once
  • Your energy bill is climbing while comfort drops

What's Included

  • Refrigerant level and system pressure check
  • Leak search on indoor and outdoor coils, lines, and fittings
  • Repair or replacement of the leaking component
  • Proper evacuation and recharge after the repair
  • A clear explanation of what failed and why

What Affects the Cost of Refrigerant Leak Repair

  • Where the leak is and how easy it is to reach
  • Whether the part can be repaired or needs to be replaced
  • The type and amount of refrigerant your system uses
  • The age of the system, which affects whether repair makes sense

We give you a clear price after diagnosing your specific situation, not a generic number before we've seen your system.

Our Refrigerant Leak Repair Process

  1. 1

    Confirm the problem

    We check system pressures to confirm it's a refrigerant issue and not airflow or another part.

  2. 2

    Find the leak

    We search the coils, lines, and fittings to find where the refrigerant is escaping.

  3. 3

Our diagnostic fee is applied toward the cost of an approved repair. Appointment windows reflect our best estimate and are not a guaranteed arrival time.

Refrigerant Leak Repair FAQs

Can't you just add refrigerant?+

We can, but it won't fix anything. A system that's low on refrigerant is leaking, so the new refrigerant will leak out too. Finding and fixing the leak is what solves the problem.

Where do AC refrigerant leaks usually happen?+

Most often in the indoor evaporator coil, the outdoor condenser coil, or at line connections and fittings, where metal wears or corrodes over time.

Is a refrigerant leak dangerous?+

In a home system, a slow leak is mainly a comfort and cost problem. It still deserves prompt attention, because running low on refrigerant can damage the compressor.

Should I repair a leak on an older R-22 system?+

It depends on the system's age and condition. R-22 is no longer produced, so recharging is expensive. On an older system, replacement often makes more sense, and we'll compare both honestly.

How much does refrigerant leak repair cost?+

It depends on where the leak is and whether the part can be repaired. We find the leak first, then give you one flat price before any work begins.
