Why Do AC Gas Leaks Happen? | Bhavisha Home Care – Porur

When your air conditioner stops cooling effectively, one common cause is a gas leak. At Bhavisha Home Care, Porur’s trusted name for AC services, we often get calls from customers facing this issue—especially during peak summer months. But why do AC gas leaks happen? Let’s break it down.

What is AC Gas?

AC gas, commonly known as refrigerant, is the chemical that absorbs heat from your indoor air and cools it. Without it, your AC simply can’t do its job. A leak means your system loses this essential component, resulting in poor cooling and higher energy bills.

Common Causes of AC Gas Leaks

1. Poor Installation

If your AC wasn’t installed properly, loose joints and poor welding can cause gas to leak over time. At Bhavisha Home Care, we ensure every installation is secure and leak-tested.

2. Aging or Corroded Coils

Over time, the copper coils in your AC unit can corrode, especially in humid areas like Porur. This corrosion leads to tiny holes where the refrigerant escapes.

3. Physical Damage

Outdoor units are exposed to the elements. Accidental bumps, tree branches, or even rodents can damage the coils or refrigerant lines.

4. Factory Defects

Though rare, sometimes the AC unit itself has a manufacturing defect in its copper tubing or joints, which can cause a slow leak over time.

5. Lack of Regular Maintenance

Ignoring your AC’s annual service can lead to unnoticed wear and tear. A timely check-up by our technicians can spot potential leaks early and save you costly repairs.
