# Regas and leak check in Essex

> 5.0 Star from 4 reviews · Covering Essex, London and Kent · Trading since 2018 · Call 03301337722 · Air conditioning leak checks in Essex from Perennia…

We find refrigerant leaks on air conditioning before any recharge, so the system is not simply topped up.

## Leak check quotes

Leak diagnosis is quoted from the system on site, access, and the checks needed. Repair and recharge follow that finding.
- Regas and leak check: Price on request
- A sealed system should not need a routine top up.
- Leak repair, testing and recharge are included only when the quote says so.

## Diagnosis before recharge

Low refrigerant points to a leak or another fault. We find that first.
- **Symptoms and history:** Performance, fault codes and service history tell us why refrigerant loss is suspected.
- **Test for leaks:** We check accessible joints, coils and connections to find the leak where we can.
- **Repair and recharge:** The repair, testing and correct recharge are set out before further work.

## What a leak check can cover

The method depends on the equipment, refrigerant and access. Adding gas without finding the leak is not the job.

### Included when agreed
- Review of equipment and service history
- Operating checks relevant to refrigerant loss
- Leak detection on accessible components
- Explanation of findings
- A separate repair and recharge quote where needed

### Not included automatically
- Adding refrigerant without investigating suspected loss
- Repairing inaccessible pipework
- Replacement parts unless they are in the quote

## How a leak check works

System details help confirm the right equipment and test method before we arrive.
1. **Identify the system:** Share the make, model, refrigerant label, fault code and service history where you have them.
2. **Diagnose the loss:** We inspect and test the accessible system to find a leak or another fault.
3. **Set out further work:** Repair, testing and recharge are quoted before they start.

## What you receive

The visit names the fault and the next step for the system.
- **Leak findings:** The areas tested and what was found are recorded.
- **Repair options:** The likely repair, and whether replacement should also be considered, are explained.
- **Recharge work:** Pressure testing, evacuation and refrigerant work are set out separately from the first diagnosis.

## Leak check and refrigerant questions

Why diagnosis comes before a recharge.

### Can you just regas the system?

No. A sealed system should not consume refrigerant. If the charge is low, we find the cause before quoting a recharge.

### How do you find a leak?

It depends on the system and access. Visual inspection, electronic detection and pressure testing can form part of the quoted diagnosis.

### Is the repair included in the leak check?

Not automatically. Repair, parts, testing and recharge are confirmed once the fault and access are understood.

### What information do you need?

Make, model, refrigerant label, symptoms, fault codes, and any previous service details.

### What if the leak cannot be found on the first visit?

We explain the findings and quote the next check or a replacement. Refrigerant is not added as a shortcut.
