Every year, at the beginning of summer, many homeowners turn on their central air systems and find they are not performing well. It can happen for many reasons, but sometimes the freon or refrigerant level is low. Low refrigerant levels can affect the performance of the AC. It is important to note that freon can only be added to an air conditioner system by a certified person. Brooklyn freon recharging is not a DIY job for a typical homeowner.
Also, the refrigerant for an air conditioning system is in a closed system, so if it is at a low level, it probably means there is a leak somewhere in the system, which is important to get checked out. If the freon is low you might experience some of the following symptoms:
- The air temperature will not get down to the thermostat setting.
- Utility bills are higher than they have been in past years.
- There is frost build-up on coils.
- Vents are blowing warm air instead of cool.
There are also other issues that can cause some of these symptoms. A dirty air filter, or a condenser until that has not been serviced or cleaned can result in some of the same issues. A thermostat that isn’t working properly can also result in temperature control problems.
If you think you need the refrigerant in your central air system recharged, we can help. However, we can also check over the system to make sure there are no other problems, and give your equipment a quick clean and service to make sure everything is running as efficiently as it should. Proper care and maintenance will also ensure your air conditioner lasts as long as possible.
