📞 (604) 359-1081Request a free quoteRefrigerant must be handled only by certified technicians — it’s harmful to breathe, can cause frostbite, and venting it is illegal. Never buy a top-up kit; the leak must be found and repaired.
If the simple checks above don’t solve it — or anything involves refrigerant, electrical parts, the compressor, motors, coils or a breaker that keeps tripping — it’s time for a licensed technician. Call (604) 359-1081 or book online. We offer same-day diagnostics during cooling season when our schedule allows.
Please stay safe. Don’t open the indoor or outdoor unit, touch the contactor, capacitor or wiring, add or “top up” refrigerant, reset a breaker that keeps tripping, or pour anything into the system. Refrigerant, electrical and compressor work must be done by a licensed, refrigerant-certified technician. The safe homeowner steps are simple: check the thermostat is set to cool, replace a dirty filter, make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves and debris, and confirm the breaker is on. If that doesn’t fix it, stop and call (604) 359-1081.
Modern cooling equipment is sealed, pressurized and wired to be serviced by trained professionals — not opened up at home. Refrigerant is handled only by technicians certified to do so; releasing it is unsafe and illegal, and an incorrect charge will quietly wreck efficiency and shorten the compressor’s life. Capacitors hold a dangerous charge even with the power off, and a wiring or breaker mistake on your air conditioner is a real shock and fire risk. A licensed CANRO technician diagnoses the true root cause, repairs it to code, keeps your manufacturer warranty intact, and leaves the system safe — the first time. If a part is dangerous or sized wrong, we tell you honestly.
CANRO serves homeowners across Metro Vancouver — Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge and White Rock and the surrounding communities. Local, licensed technicians who know BC homes, BC electrical and gas code, and BC rebate programs.
AC systems are sealed — they don’t consume refrigerant. Low charge means a leak, which a certified technician must locate and repair before recharging.
No — it’s illegal to handle without certification, unsafe, and pointless without fixing the leak. A proper repair finds and seals the leak first.
It shouldn’t be breathed and can cause frostbite on contact. Ventilate the area, keep the system off, and call a certified technician.
