Is Your AC Blowing Warm Air? Let’s Find Out Why.

When your air conditioning or heat pump isn’t cooling properly, a refrigerant leak is one of the most common — and frustrating — causes. But many companies guess. Or top off the refrigerant without fixing the real issue.

At Novus Mechanical, we do things differently. We test, don’t guess — and we always explain what’s happening in plain, simple terms. Our refrigerant leak detection service is designed for homeowners who want the truth, not the runaround.

Whether your system has a small pinhole leak or a major crack, we’ll help you figure it out and make a smart, cost-effective plan.

🔧 What’s Included in Refrigerant Leak Detection

• ✅ Full AC or heat pump system check

• ✅ Inspection of all lines, coils, and connections

• ✅ Advanced electronic leak detection tools

• ✅ UV dye and pressure testing if needed

• ✅ Honest report of what we find — no confusing lingo

• ✅ Repair options explained clearly before we touch a thing

• ✅ Post-repair testing and recharge (only if needed)

We’re local, licensed, and always respectful of your home and time.

😣 Common Frustrations We Hear — and Fix

We’ve helped homeowners all over Monmouth County who were told:

• “There’s no leak” (but the system keeps losing refrigerant)

• “You need a new unit” — without anyone even checking properly

• “We can refill it and see what happens”

• “It’s probably just the thermostat”

• “Sorry, we don’t do that kind of diagnostic”

You deserve more than guesses.

With Novus Mechanical, we explain everything. And if it’s a leak? We’ll show you where, explain why, and fix it right — not just refill and hope.

💬 One Freehold Story That Says It All:

“Our AC stopped cooling in the middle of a heat wave. Two different techs added refrigerant and told us it ‘should be fine.’ It wasn’t. Alex from Novus showed up, explained the problem clearly, and found a tiny leak in the coil. He fixed it, topped it off, and we’ve been cool ever since. I just wish we called them first.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my AC blowing warm air?

You might have a refrigerant leak, clogged filter, or airflow problem. We’ll find out for sure.

How do I know if I need leak detection or just a recharge?

If your system was recently recharged and the issue came back — that’s a big red flag. Leaks don’t fix themselves.

Can I use leak sealant from the store?

We don’t recommend it. It can cause long-term damage and make real repairs harder. Let us take a proper look first.

How much does refrigerant leak detection cost?

It usually ranges from $200–$600, depending on how complex the system is. We’ll give you a firm price up front.

Do you offer emergency service?

Yes — especially during hot weather. If it’s urgent, let us know and we’ll do our best to help quickly.

Do you guarantee your work?

Absolutely. If we fix a leak, we stand behind it. And if you’re not sure, we’ll talk you through all the options.
