For HVAC contractors servicing commercial refrigeration: technicians log each refrigerant addition on the phone, the leak rate is calculated automatically, repair and verification deadlines are tracked, and the records for each appliance are ready when the customer or EPA asks.

Grocery store, rack system with 1,200 lb of R-448A. Technician adds 65 lb on October 3. Leak rate calculated and over the threshold for commercial refrigeration — repair deadline set, verification tests scheduled, customer notified with the record.
Choose your planUnder EPA leak repair rules — Section 608 of the Clean Air Act and, for HFC refrigerants, 40 CFR part 84 — owners of commercial refrigeration appliances with larger refrigerant charges must track how much refrigerant is added, calculate the leak rate, and repair leaks above the threshold within set deadlines. In practice the HVAC contractor who services the equipment does most of this work: the technician adds refrigerant, records it, and the office must tell the customer when the leak rate requires a repair.
Many contractors still keep these records on paper service tickets or in spreadsheets. When an inspector or the customer's compliance team asks for the history of an appliance, someone has to collect years of tickets. 608 Leak Log keeps the records by appliance from the first charge.
Each appliance is set up once: location, type, refrigerant and full charge. At every service call the technician logs on the phone how much refrigerant was added or recovered and why. The technician's Section 608 certification is stored with the profile, so every record shows who did the work.
After each addition, the leak rate is calculated automatically and compared with the threshold for that appliance type. If it is over the threshold, the service sets the repair deadline and the dates for the initial and follow-up verification tests, and creates tasks for the office. The customer receives a short notice with the record attached.
Records for each appliance stay together: charges, recoveries, leak rates, repairs, verification tests and the technicians involved. When the customer, an auditor or EPA asks, the full history is exported in one document. Reports by customer and by refrigerant show where most refrigerant goes, which helps both sides plan replacements.
The service suits contractors with a few to a few dozen technicians who service supermarkets, restaurants, cold storage and other commercial refrigeration. It works on any phone and in the office browser.
Setting up starts with your customer list. You add the sites and appliances you service, with the full charge of each system, or import them from a spreadsheet. Technicians get logins on their phones and enter their certification once. From the first service call, each refrigerant addition is logged against the right appliance.
The office sees open leak repairs across all customers with their deadlines, so nothing is missed between service calls. When a customer replaces a system, its records stay archived, and the new appliance starts its own history.
The service keeps records and calculations from your technicians' entries. Compliance with Section 608 remains the responsibility of the appliance owner and the certified technicians. We are not affiliated with EPA.
