Every A/C job eventually asks the same question: where is the refrigerant going? A shop's answer is only as good as its detection equipment — and the difference between a professional finding and a guess is the difference between a billed repair and a comeback.
This guide stays at the business level: equipment families, capability questions and vendor conversations. Leak-test procedures, gas-mixture requirements and pressurization practices belong to the equipment manufacturers, qualified technicians and applicable standards — never a financing guide.

UPLOAD YOUR QUOTENEW VS USED, AND THE QUOTE
New detection equipment arrives with current calibration and clean support. Where eligible, used units can be considered — calibration status, sensor condition, included accessories and manufacturer support don't automatically transfer from the previous owner, and each is confirmed with the seller before you buy. Whatever the route, the itemized quote — instruments, accessories, calibration relationships and support — anchors both the purchase and the financing application.
Financing options may be available for qualifying equipment and related costs; eligibility depends on the applicant, asset, project, vendor, transaction, program and jurisdiction.
