Leak detection

If you're like most people, the last thing you want to think about is your air conditioner leaking gas. But the reality is, it could happen, and if it does, it's essential to know what to do. That's why we're here to provide you with the information you need to know about air conditioning gas leak detection in Wollongong.

Reasons for air conditioning gas leaks

Leaks can happen for a variety of reasons. The most common cause is wear and tear on the gas lines. Over time, the lines can develop cracks or holes that allow gas to escape. This is especially true if your AC unit is older.

Another common cause of leaks is improper aircon installation. If your AC unit wasn't installed correctly, there's a good chance that the gas lines weren't connected properly. This can also lead to leaks.
