What You Need To Know About Freon

Everything You Need to Know About Freon and Your AC Unit

It doesn’t matter what part of the country you are in, it has become a standard for all American homes to come equipped with an AC. Life without an air conditioner can feel nearly impossible in this society. Some businesses wouldn’t be possible without the air conditioner. Without freon, the air conditioner itself wouldn’t be possible. In order to maintain a properly working air conditioner, it is important to have all of your freon questions answered. In most cases, when an air conditioner isn’t working right it is because there is something wrong with the freon. 

In this article, you will not only learn about what freon is and how your HVAC system is fixed when there is a freon problem, but how to take care of your HVAC system as well. 

Freon: What Is It?

What Is a Freon?Freon is a stable, non-flammable, low toxicity liquid used as a refrigerant or aerosol propellant

When an AC unit has a freon leak, an HVAC technician will first use a leak detection tool in order to locate the leak. Once the leak is located, the tools required for the job are: 

  • Screwdriver set
  • Hammer
  • Wrenches
  • Refrigerant gauge
  • Extra refrigerant

Not only will the technician locate and patch the leak, but he will ensure there is more refrigerant added to the system before trying to turn it back on again. 

There are a number of different ways a technician will try to patch the leak depending on where it’s located. The different places a leak could be located are:

  • Suction line
  • The evaporator coil
  • Condenser coils
  • In the accumulator on the heat pump

Sometimes, fixing a refrigerant leak means replacing parts as well. It is always best to call a professional before trying to simply replace things on your own

HVAC Services Needed For Freon Problems

Freon Leak ServicesWithout freon, your air conditioner simply won’t work. It has been this way for decades. There are a few different reasons why freon is so important to your HVAC system.

Some of these reasons are: 

  • It is what cools down the air before it is pushed back into your home.
  • It keeps the condenser coils working properly.
  • It keeps the evaporator coils working properly.

As mentioned, freon is the lifeblood of your ac unit. Without it, you are likely to experience a number of problems. Some of the problems that arise when there are problems with a system’s freon are: 

  • It could take a lot longer to cool your house down.
  • Your house might not cool down at all.
  • The system could overheat.
  • The evaporator coils or condenser coils could break.
  • You could experience ice build-up within your system.

The most important thing to remember is to always have a professional present when looking at your ac unit. There are a lot of moving parts in your air conditioning unit that makes it unsafe to work on without a professionally trained technician. 

The Importance of Freon Maintenance 

Taking care of your HVAC system has endless benefits including lower energy costs and a longer lifespan of your HVAC system. It is always recommended to have regular maintenance done to your HVAC system to ensure it is working properly for the year and to keep your repair costs down to a minimum. 

There are some things you can do on your own, but it is better to have a professional service your system for you. All you have to do is call a professional HVAC technician to come out once a year and your HVAC system is sure to work properly for years to come with minimal upkeep outside of the yearly maintenance. 

Preventative maintenance will ensure that your freon levels are where they should be and that there are no leaks within the system.
