AC Refrigerant Recharge & Leak Repair in Honolulu

What's included

• Electronic and UV-dye leak detection
• R-410A and A2L refrigerant service
• Flare fitting and Schrader valve repair
• Evaporator and condenser coil leak repair
• Honest replacement advice on R-22 systems

A sealed refrigeration circuit is a closed loop. If it is low on charge, refrigerant escaped somewhere, and the most common locations are flare fittings, Schrader valves, and coil joints. On salt-air Oʻahu properties, condenser coil corrosion is a frequent culprit as well.

R-22 is a special case. It has not been produced in the United States for years, so the price per pound has climbed sharply. If a system using R-22 has a significant leak, the honest answer is often that the recharge costs more than the equipment is worth — and that money is better spent on a replacement using R-410A or a current A2L refrigerant.

We will tell you which side of that line you are on before you spend anything. If a repair is viable, we quote it; if replacement is the better economic call, we say so and show you the numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does refrigerant cost in Honolulu?

R-410A typically runs $90–$150 per pound installed. R-22, where still available, commonly runs $200–$400 per pound because production has ended.

How do I know if my AC is low on refrigerant?

Common signs are weak cooling, ice on the indoor coil or refrigerant lines, and a system that runs continuously without reaching the thermostat setpoint.

Can you just top it off?

We can, but we will look for the leak first. Topping off a leaking system is a recurring cost with no permanent fix.
