  • Stop leak vs replace ac

    I have a leak that the tech could not find (he used dye and I’ve). Is stop leak worth a try? Any other ideas? Should I just replace ac?

    There are leak detectors that will detect 1/4 oz per year leaks. Look for a H10. Originally designed by GE, but then later built by Yokosuma. Most you had to have 110 power, but the H10-G has a rechargeable battery. It will find you leak, but no guarantee’s that it will be repairable. It is also sensitive enough to give false readings from fermenting organic material. It does have a bit of learning curve, but once you buy one and use it you will never go back.
