Freon Leak Repair - Air Conditioner

A freon leak repair kit may be the answer to the problem of freon leaks in your air conditioner that keep costing you money every cooling season.

This is done by putting a vacuum pump on the system that sucks all the contaminant's out. If this is not done your system will not function properly even after recharging it.
