Freon<\/a> call. \u00a0When your ac system becomes low on Freon \u00ae (refrigerant)\u00a0several things are likely to occur. \u00a0The first is limited or no cooling, you could also notice that your copper line leading to the furnace could be iced up. \u00a0This usually makes no or very little air flow into your home (because the air cannot pass through the ice that has formed). \u00a0If you have any of these symptoms there is a very good chance that your ac repair is a\u00a0refrigerant issue. \u00a0If this is the case the best course of action for your ac repair is to locate the spot where\u00a0it leaked out and repair it.\u00a0 Do this\u00a0before adding more\u00a0refrigerant to the system.<\/p>\nLeak Search<\/h2>\n
There are several ways to locate the leak.\u00a0 I will go over the 3 best.\u00a0 The first is to look for a dirty\/oil spot, when\u00a0refrigerant leaks out it carries a slight amount of oil with it that stays behind and gathers dirt.\u00a0 The second would be with soap bubbles. \u00a0We use common dish soap and place it on the areas we think might be leaking. \u00a0If a leak is present then the soap will bubble in that area. \u00a0The third way to find a leak\u00a0on your a\/c\u00a0is with an electronic leak detector. \u00a0This detector sniffs the air looking for\u00a0refrigerant and indicates with a loud beep when it\u00a0is found. \u00a0This can be done with standard pressure in the system for larger leaks or with 400 pounds of nitrogen added to make the leak easier to find for small leaks.<\/p>\n
Always Find The Leak<\/h3>\n
NEVER let anyone add Freon to your system without finding out why you are low.\u00a0 Refrigerant last forever and does not run out unless there is a leak. \u00a0Freon \u00ae is now being regulated by the Federal Government thus is going up in price everyday. \u00a0Current prices are up over 300% from last year alone.\u00a0 Make sure you ask how much it costs per pound and how many pounds you will need. Never pay more for the 1st pound than you do for the rest of them that is silly and you are just being\u00a0taken advantage of.\u00a0\u00a0NOTE: The amount of\u00a0refrigerant you need is written on the model number tag on your ac unit. \u00a0If someone tells you that you need much more than what is written there\u00a0you need to call someone else.<\/p>\n
