Refrigerant leak in indoor evaporator coil, Refrigerant leak in outdoor condenser coil or flare connections, Improper initial charge during installation, Capillary or expansion device issues causing low suction pressure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Refrigerant handling must be done by licensed HVAC professionals. Do not attempt to open the refrigeration circuit yourself.
- Step 1 – Visual inspection: Look for oil stains on flare connections, service valves, and coils. Oil residue often indicates a refrigerant leak.
- Step 2 – Check airflow and filters: Ensure filters and coils are clean to rule out airflow-related low pressure.
- Step 3 – Professional leak check: Contact a Klimaire-authorized technician to perform a leak search using electronic detectors or nitrogen pressure testing.
- Step 4 – Repair and recharge (pro): The technician will repair leaks, evacuate the system, and recharge with the correct type and weight of refrigerant as specified on the Klimaire nameplate.
