Freon Recharge

Freon is a type of refrigerant used in air conditioning systems to transfer heat from the inside of a building to the outside. Over time, the refrigerant level in an air conditioning system may drop, leading to reduced cooling efficiency.

A Freon recharge involves adding refrigerant to the system to restore it to the proper level. This is a task that should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician as it requires specialized equipment and knowledge to do it safely and effectively.

Can you recharge Freon yourself?

It is not recommended to recharge Freon yourself as it is a complex process that requires specialized equipment and knowledge. Refrigerant handling is regulated by the federal government and requires a license to perform. Additionally, improper handling of refrigerant can be dangerous to both you and the environment.


Will it hurt to run AC without Freon?

Running an air conditioner without Freon can cause the compressor to overheat and fail, leading to expensive repairs or replacement of the system. Additionally, without refrigerant, the air conditioner will not be able to transfer heat from the inside of the building to the outside, leading to poor cooling performance.


How long should a Freon recharge last?

The length of time a Freon recharge will last depends on various factors such as the usage of the air conditioning system, the environment, and the efficiency of the system. On average, a Freon recharge should last for several years, but it is important to regularly monitor the refrigerant levels and recharge as needed to ensure the air conditioning system operates effectively.
