How can I tell if I have a refrigerant leak?

By Kyle Rafter  - May 01, 2025

If the air conditioner feels like it is lacking in performance compared to the previous operation, this may be an example of potential refrigerant loss.

To confirm if there is a refrigerant leak, the unit should be inspected by a qualified refrigerant and air conditioning technician. Some quick troubleshooting tips before you have the unit looked at by a professional include checking the filters to ensure they aren't blocked, making sure the unit is set to the right mode and set temperature for the system to turn on, and if you have access to the outdoor unit, checking that it is operational.

It is recommended that you contact your installer in the first instance if you believe there is a refrigerant leak to do a full check over the system and installation.
