Audit-ready EPA refrigerant compliance for HVAC contractors

Ref LeakLog helps small HVAC/R contractors manage refrigerant records and track leak-repair requirements for covered equipment under 40 CFR Part 84 Subpart C. When a technician logs a refrigerant top-off, it calculates the leak rate, flags threshold exceedances, and tracks repair deadlines. It also monitors chronic-leaker totals and keeps service records organized for export. Built for one-to-eight-truck shops, $29–$89/mo.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Ervin, the founder of Ref LeakLog.
Since January 1, 2026, EPA's leak repair rule (40 CFR 84.106) has applied to appliances with a full charge of 15 pounds or more of a refrigerant that contains a listed HFC, or of a substitute with a global warming potential above 53. Residential and light commercial air conditioning and heat pumps are excluded. For a covered unit, the owner has to:
• calculate the leak rate each time refrigerant is added (three narrow exceptions apply)
• once the rate goes over 10, 20 or 30 percent, depending on the type of equipment, repair the leaks within 30 days (120 if an industrial process shutdown is needed), or make a plan within 30 days to retrofit or retire the unit
• run initial and follow-up verification tests on the repair, then keep up leak inspections on a schedule
• report any unit that leaks 125 percent or more of its full charge in a calendar year to EPA by March 1 of the next year
• keep the records for at least three years
Ref LeakLog keeps that record. A tech logs the pounds added at the unit and the leak rate is computed on the spot. When a unit goes over its threshold, the repair action opens itself with its deadline, and verification tests close it out. Chronic-leaker totals are tracked all year, and every record exports as an audit-ready PDF.
You can try all of it without an account at refleaklog.app/demo. It runs a fictional contractor's fleet through the real calculation engine, and the screenshots here come from it. The free tools need no account either: a leak-rate calculator, a repair-deadline calculator, an "Is my equipment covered?" checker and a refrigerant log template in Excel, PDF and CSV, all at refleaklog.app/tools.
Pricing is $29, $59 or $89 a month for 1, 3 or 8 users, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Every plan runs the same compliance engine. Support reaches the person who built it. Small, right requests often ship within days, and the dated log is at refleaklog.app/updates.
I'm not a technician or a lawyer. Every rule the product applies is cited to its section of the regulation. Feedback is welcome, especially from anyone who runs service trucks.
