Frequently Asked Questions
Contrary to popular belief, air conditioners do not consume refrigerant (Freon) as a car consumes oil, so under ideal conditions it would never need changing or filling. Therefore, a low Freon level indicates a leak which should be repaired before adding more. While most new system connections are welded to minimize leaks, many older units (8+ years) were connected with mechanical flared fittings that can vibrate loose over the years, causing leaks.
Problems with Freon leaks:
- Low Freon levels reduce efficiency of the air conditioner.
- They can freeze the evaporator coil, causing it to literally ice up.
- Freon is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) controlled substance, deemed hazardous if released into the environment.
- The heart of the unit is the compressor, which is cooled by the refrigerant. Over time, low Freon levels can cause overheating and premature failure of the compressor, often requiring complete replacement of the compressor or the entire condensing unit. A very expensive proposition.
It consists of the following steps:
- Check for proper refrigerant (Freon) levels. A low level indicates a leak that needs to be found and repaired before adding more Freon.
- Check all electrical components and controls.
- Clean evaporator and condenser coils, as needed.
- Oil motors as needed.
- Calibrate thermostat.
- Check condenser.
- Check filters.
A thoroughly cleaned air conditioning unit will operate at top efficiency. However, homeowners are strongly discouraged from cleaning it themselves and should contact a licensed HVAC technician in their area. Like most anything you own, regular maintenance is far less costly than repairs or replacement. Contact us today and we can send a certified HVAC technician to your home right away. The longer you wait the more trouble (and money) it will be to get your air conditioner running smoothly for summer!
