Our Diagnostic Equipment

Advanced tools for accurate, non-invasive HVAC leak detection

At HVACLEAK.ca, we invest in the most advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure accurate leak detection with minimal disruption to your property or system operation. Our specialized tools allow us to pinpoint the exact location of leaks in all types of HVAC systems.

Ultrasonic Leak Detectors

Our ultrasonic leak detection equipment can identify the sound frequencies produced by escaping air, gas, or fluid that are inaudible to the human ear. This technology allows us to:

  • Detect leaks in pressurized systems without disassembly
  • Pinpoint exact leak locations in pipes, valves, and fittings
  • Find leaks in hard-to-reach or concealed areas
  • Identify multiple leak points in complex systems

Thermal Imaging Cameras

Our high-resolution thermal imaging cameras visualize temperature differences to reveal hidden leaks and system inefficiencies. This technology enables us to:

  • Detect water and refrigerant leaks behind walls and under floors
  • Identify insulation failures and thermal bridges
  • Locate overheating components before failure
  • Create detailed thermal maps of entire systems

Pressure Testing Equipment

Our precision pressure testing tools allow us to identify leaks by monitoring pressure changes in closed systems. With this equipment, we can:

  • Perform nitrogen pressure tests on refrigerant lines
  • Conduct hydrostatic testing on water-based systems
  • Measure pressure decay to quantify leak severity
  • Verify system integrity after repairs

Refrigerant Leak Detectors

Our electronic refrigerant leak detectors can identify even trace amounts of refrigerant gases. These specialized tools allow us to:

  • Detect leaks as small as 0.1 oz per year
  • Identify all common refrigerant types (R-22, R-410A, etc.)
  • Scan entire systems quickly and efficiently
  • Locate leaks in hard-to-reach components

Our Non-Invasive Approach

At HVACLEAK.ca, we prioritize non-invasive leak detection methods that minimize disruption to your property and HVAC system. Our approach offers several key advantages:

Minimal Disruption

Our techniques require little to no disassembly of your HVAC system or property.

Comprehensive Detection

We can locate leaks in areas that would be impossible to access with traditional methods.

Precise Diagnosis

Our equipment provides exact leak locations, eliminating guesswork and unnecessary repairs.

Visual Documentation

We provide thermal images and test results to clearly show the location and extent of leaks.

Our Diagnostic Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    We begin with a thorough visual inspection and discussion of your system's symptoms to determine the most appropriate diagnostic approach.

  2. 2

    Equipment Selection

    Based on your system type and symptoms, we select the optimal combination of diagnostic tools to efficiently locate the leak.

  3. 3

    Comprehensive Testing

    We systematically test your entire system, focusing on common leak points while also checking for hidden issues.

  4. 4

    Documentation & Explanation

    We document all findings and clearly explain the location, cause, and severity of any leaks, along with recommended repair options.
