Should You Add Refrigerant To Your Home or Business A/C?

Central A/C Are Closed Systems:

Central Air Conditioning for buildings, offices and homes are closed systems. It means that once the proper amount of Refrigerant is added to the system, there should not be any need to add more.

Signification Of Low Refrigerant Level In The A/C System:

If your A/C system is low with refrigerant, it means that it has escaped from the system, which means that there is a leak somewhere.

What To Do When The Refrigerant Level Is Low In My A/C?

The right way is to find the leak and fix it, if possible, or replace the part with the leak.

If you decide to have some refrigerant added to your system, you are only temporarily alleviating your problem as the refrigerant will eventually leak out again. (Meantime the refrigerant escapes and pollutes the environment, possibly destroying the ozone layer.)

What Causes A A/C System To Get A Leak?

There are many causes but a major reason is the lack of maintenance and the use of inappropriate or clogged air filters.
