Aircon Leak Repair for Water and Refrigerant Leaks.
There are two kinds of aircon leaks. Water leaks usually come from a clogged drain line or a tilted indoor unit. Refrigerant leaks come from flare joints, tubing, or coils. A refrigerant leak needs a pressure test and repair before any recharge. Topping up gas without fixing the leak only delays the problem.

The process, step by step
- Identify the leak type. The technician checks whether the water is from the drain pan, the drain line, or condensation on the pipes. A refrigerant leak is suspected when cooling drops without a water trail.
- Trace the source. Drain lines are flushed and checked for slope. For refrigerant, the line set and coils are inspected and pressurized with nitrogen.
- Repair the drain or joint. A clogged drain is cleared, a broken line is replaced, and a sagging indoor unit is leveled. Leaking flare joints are reflared, and damaged tubing is cut and replaced.
- Pressure test. The repaired circuit is held under pressure to confirm the leak has stopped. Skipping this step is why some leaks return within weeks.
- Vacuum and recharge. The system is vacuumed to remove air and moisture, then charged to the correct weight. Cooling, current, and drain flow are checked before turnover.

| Evaporator coil repair | ₱2,000 | ₱5,000 | Depends on whether the coil is accessible. |
| Vacuum and recharge after repair | ₱2,000 | ₱4,000 | Charged by weight after a successful pressure test. |
Repair or replace?
- A drain leak is almost always repairable.
- Repeated leaks in the same old coil may justify replacement.
- Ask for a pressure test before paying for a recharge.
- If the leak is in a buried pipe, compare rerouting with replacement.
How to use the quote
Ask the technician to write the diagnosis, the parts to be replaced, the refrigerant to be used, and the labor charge as separate lines. A quote that only gives one total is hard to compare and easy to inflate.
For a major part, ask whether it is new, rebuilt, or surplus. Confirm the warranty in writing. If the shop cannot explain why the part failed, get a second opinion before approving the work.

Aircon Leak Repair: common questions
Why is my aircon leaking water?
The most common cause is a clogged drain line. Water backs up in the pan and drips from the indoor unit. Other causes are a dirty filter that ices the coil, a drain line with the wrong slope, or an indoor unit that is not level. A technician should check all of these.
Is a refrigerant leak dangerous?
Refrigerants are not toxic in the small amounts used at home, but they displace oxygen in a closed room. Move to fresh air if you feel dizzy, and ventilate the area. Do not ignore a hissing sound or oily residue on the pipes. Have the leak repaired rather than repeatedly topping up.
Can I just add freon instead of repairing the leak?
You can, but the cooling will fade again as the gas escapes. Topping up without a leak test wastes money and can hide a bigger problem. The correct sequence is to find the leak, repair it, pressure test, vacuum, and then recharge. Ask for proof of the pressure test.
How long does aircon leak repair take?
A drain line fix can take under an hour. A refrigerant leak at a flare joint may take two to four hours, including vacuum and recharge. A coil leak can take longer if the indoor unit must be removed. Waiting for a replacement coil can add a day or more.
Why does the leak keep coming back?
The usual reasons are an incomplete repair, a missed second leak, or no pressure test after the fix. Vibration can also loosen a flare nut that was not tightened properly. If the same spot leaks again within a year, ask for the repair warranty and a fresh pressure test.

Freon Recharge
A sealed aircon system should not lose refrigerant. If cooling drops, the usual cause is a leak, not old age. A proper recharge means finding and fixing the leak, vacuuming the line, then charging by weight. Topping up without a repair buys a few weeks of cooling, no more.
Aircon Cleaning
Aircon cleaning removes dust, dirt, and mold from the filters, coils, blower, and drain line. It is routine upkeep, not a repair, and usually takes one to two hours per unit. Most homes in the Philippines book a cleaning every six months, or every three months if the unit runs daily near traffic or dust.
Split Type Aircon Repair
Split systems have an indoor and an outdoor side. Indoor faults show as weak airflow, water leaks, or noise. Outdoor faults show as no cooling, tripping, or a hot compressor. Diagnosis checks both sides before parts are replaced. Typical repairs cover the PCB, fan motor, sensors, drain pump, and compressor.
