When You Need To Recharge Your Refrigerant
Let’s be honest, your air conditioner’s refrigerant level is likely not top-of-mind. At least it isn’t until your house stops cooling to the temperature set on the thermostat. Some signs to watch for that can indicate you need to recharge your refrigerant are:
- The unit seems to be working normally but the air that's being pumped out doesn't feel as cold as it should.
- The unit is not cooling the house to the setting on the thermostat.
- The system is blowing out warm or room-temperature air.
If you have a refrigerant leak, look for frost buildup on tubes, motors, and other parts of the system.
Contact the experts at Befort Plumbing & Heating if you notice any of these symptoms. Refrigerants can be dangerous and therefore should only be handled by trained professionals.
