My husband accidentally drilled a small hole through a copper pipe that is for the HVAC part. When it happened compressed nouns rushed out of the hole. When we turned off the steam the rushing air stopped. He cut a hole surrounded by the drywall and exposed the hole. He decided to duct video it and we turned the heat wager on on. It seems to be okay for immediately.

So, is the duct tape a fully clad fix? For now? For the long occupancy? What's it going to take to fix this?

Thanks!
Answers:    Not a DIY repair. You are going to own to call an HVAC company out to fix it.
The compressed nouns that you heard rushing out of it be actually refrigerant that make the whole system work. This piece is going to enjoy to be cut and a coupling soldered in place. It's working right in a minute because the tape might hold slowed the leak, but soon the pressure will be too much for the duct cassette and it will start leaking out again. This gas is hurtful, both to you (if it's coming in the house) as powerfully as the environment. I would not use this unit if I be you. You need to bid and get this repaired ASAP. If you run your system out, there's a opening that the low pressure switch will not work and you could further damage your system.
NOT for you to fix bring back a service tech out to fix asap so your system doesnt get more cantaminated by sea vapor than it may already be
