I was with the guy when he was doing the testing. It was visual so I assumed he used a dye but I didn’t see a UV light. He basically checked around outside at the AC compressor and also up in the attic where the furnace is. It’s a new home and there is quite the distance between the two so I was worried maybe the leak is in the line between the two.
After about an hour of investigating he just recharged the refrigerant. I know it wasn’t freon but the new stuff was expensive. I think he added a lb of it and that part alone was around $100. Hopefully the new stuff is good for the environment.
Don’t mind maybe searching for a leak later but now isn’t a good time for repair people to enter the house so I was looking for someone to come over and recharge it.
