This ductless system at a San Jose, CA home was reconnected as part of a line set change, replacing the copper tubing and insulation that link the indoor and outdoor units. A fresh line set restores a clean, leak-free refrigerant path between the two halves of the system.
A line set change is the process of replacing the copper tubing and insulation that connects the indoor and outdoor components of an air conditioning or heat pump system. Here are the general steps involved.

Steps in a line set change
- Recover the refrigerant: if the system is still charged, the refrigerant is safely removed and recovered by the technician to prevent environmental damage and legal violations.
- Remove the old line set: the existing line set is cut and taken out of the system.
- Install the new line set: the new tubing is connected between the indoor and outdoor units and the lines are insulated to prevent condensation.
- Pressure test the system: the system is pressure tested to confirm there are no leaks in the new line set.
- Vacuum and recharge: once the test passes, the system is vacuumed to remove air and moisture, then recharged with the correct amount of refrigerant.
With the new line set installed and the system recharged, the ductless unit is reconnected and ready to run efficiently. Every Nur HVAC job of this kind finishes with a pressure test and proper evacuation so the system is sealed and charged correctly before it is returned to service.
Ductless system trouble?
Leaks, damaged tubing, or a system that lost its charge all point to the refrigerant circuit. Our ductless repair service covers line set work, pressure testing, and proper recharging.
Line set problems often show up as weak cooling, ice on the tubing, or a system that gradually loses performance. Replacing the tubing rather than patching it gives the refrigerant a clean, properly insulated path, which protects the compressor and keeps the ductless system running efficiently for this San Jose home.

“My AC unit stopped working 2 months ago and I called several service companies for a quote. Nur offered a free appraisal and quote. I decided to go ahead with him and he was extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He arrived exactly on time, wore mask and booties inside the house, showed me all the readings to educate me on where the problem was and fixed the issue within the time he estimated. Yesterday, during a record breaking heat wave, it felt like my AC unit stopped working again. I called Nur and he came down to inspect the unit, and showed me where PG&E had turned off my AC unit remotely. And he didn't charge me for the visit since there wasn't any problem. 10/10 would recommend , and will only use him for all my AC needs from here onwards.”
“We are so glad that we made the right choice for working with Nur HVAC on adding heat pump AC with our existing furnace. The sales representative Ilias was very prompt in responding all our questions and offered a very reasonable price. Fedor and Shalai, the installation team, installed all the new facilities PERFECTLY. They really know their job - all their tasks were super organized and clean - they even cleaned all working spaces every day before they left! (Big Kudos!!) In addition to the quality installation, they also explained how the system works clearly and patiently. We are waiting for inspection now but we believe it will pass thanks to the great work. Thanks team!”
“We wanted to install an AC in our condo and replace the old gas furnace. We are happy that we had business with Nur HVAC. Their estimator was a professional who explained us all the options including the least expensive ones. Their quotes and estimates looked honest and fair, their pricing was way better than the competitors (almost twice less the amount than some other greedy dealers). We decided to proceed and made an appointment for the installation. The equipment installed is modern and quiet. The consumables used were all high quality and brand new. The guys were professional, on time, diligent and not cutting corners during the installation process. All conduits look neat and nice. Everything looks great. They left the place tidy and clean. After we used the system for a couple of days we realized that some custom tuning might be necessary for our apartment, to which Nur HVAC quickly made a new appointment and fixed all the issues for free. Nur HVAC are reliable, responsible and dependable. I highly recommend them to everyone who needs HVAC services in Bay Area. P.S. We got a few quotes from other companies too. They were sending us basically a sales person who would be just trying to figure out how much we could afford to pay. So I ended up with a few obviously unfair quotes which I didn't want to proceed with. Also the sales people were not always nice. Once they find out your budget is tight, they kinda lose interest in you. Reluctantly talking and just leaving as soon as they can.”
“I highly value honest person and David is very honest and reliable. I wanted to install a home electric charger with very minimum knowledge and some peoples may over charge or push me to do extra works. But David told me what I need and finished work quick and clean. I highly recommend him for any electric work.”

“Our air conditioner started making strange noises. But cane out to look at the condenser unit. It turns out that someone had left a garbage bag in top that got sucked in and wrapped around the fan. They did not charge is anything. This is the third time we have used Nir for heating or air conditioning. They have been prompt, efficient, reasonably priced and courteous. I highly recommend them.”
“With the heat wave going on and all of a sudden my AC system failing, I couldn’t find anyone to come immediately except Nur HVAC which fit me in and sent Michael over within a few hours to check and repair my system. Michael found a number of issues that he fixed and also made suggestions for future maintenance. I really appreciated the good work and happy to have my AC working quickly again.”
“Nur HVAC are real professionals and get the job done. I had a last-minute call to them, and they were able to accommodate me for next day, and the tech Islam worked really hard, kept updated on every step and possible fall outs in future due to the unit being old. Overall, they were really professional, quick and would recommend for sure.”

We will continue to have them as our list of contractors. Thank you to Islam and David for your continued service.”
