Job completed for Jesus M.

Completion date: September 12, 2025

Location: Stony Point, VA

Why did the customer contact us?

Jesus nicked a refrigerant line almost two stories up while working on his home to repair water damage. He called us to make a repair to return the system to service. 

He discovered that the original HVAC system installers had not properly insulated the refrigerant line inside the walls, which created condensate that damaged the exterior sheathing of the home.

Solutions provided:

Modern press tools like the RLS fitting allow us to make this repair quickly and easily vs when brazing was our only option. We removed the bad section and used a press coupling to make the repair. We replaced the filter drier (a must when a refrigerant system is exposed to atmospheric air) and then completed a pressure and evacuation test. We also replaced the missing insulation on the lineset. 

During testing we discovered another leak on an original installation braze joint, which we also repaired. 

Once testing was complete, we recharged the system and returned it to service.
