Affordable Air Conditioner Leak Sealing Solution

Client Overview

  • During early summer in Saskatoon, MNS Mechanical Limited received multiple calls from homeowners experiencing issues with their air conditioning systems.
  • Many of these systems had developed minor refrigerant leaks after a long winter season.
  • One client in particular noticed their unit was no longer cooling effectively just as temperatures began to rise.

The Challenge: Seasonal Surge in AC Leaks

It is a common industry trend for air conditioners to develop small leaks over time, particularly in older systems. These issues often go unnoticed during the off-season but are quickly discovered when homeowners simultaneously switch on their AC units in spring or early summer. This leads to a seasonal surge in service requests and longer wait times for traditional repairs.

Key concerns include:

Reduced cooling capacity and rising indoor temperatures.

Increased repair costs and scheduling delays due to peak-season demand.

Environmental concerns from ongoing refrigerant leakage.

 Potential long-term damage to the compressor if refrigerant levels drop too low.

In qualifying cases, MNS Mechanical  offers a specialized leak sealant product designed to address small refrigerant leaks quickly and cost-effectively. For this particular client, our technicians confirmed that the leak was minor and localized, making it a suitable candidate for our sealing solution.
