Cold Room Refrigerant Leak Repairs in Sandton

Refrigerant carries heat out of the cold room. A leak reduces cooling capacity, raises running costs and eventually stops the room cooling at all. Leak detection and repair is specialist refrigeration work.

Refrigerant leak detection uses electronic leak detectors, UV dye and pressure testing to locate the leak without guessing. We then recover remaining refrigerant, repair the leak, pressure-test the repair, and recharge with the correct refrigerant quantity. This work is carried out by qualified technicians only.

Repair options depend on the leak location — a failed joint can be re-brazed, a corroded coil may need replacement, and a leaking evaporator may be repairable or require a new coil. We advise honestly on the most cost-effective repair.

Refrigerant leak testing at each planned maintenance visit catches slow leaks before they cause a breakdown. Vibration and corrosion are the main causes, so pipework condition matters.
