Your air conditioner’s performance hinges on the proper level of refrigerant. This specialized fluid circulates through your system, absorbing heat from your home and releasing it outdoors. Over time, refrigerant can leak, leading to reduced cooling efficiency and potentially damaging your compressor.
Why is a regular coolant check important?
- Optimal performance: The correct refrigerant level ensures your AC operates at peak efficiency.
- Energy savings: A well-maintained system can help you save on your energy bills.
- Prevent breakdowns: Early detection of refrigerant leaks can prevent costly repairs.
How often should you check your refrigerant?
While the frequency can vary depending on factors like the age of your system and local climate conditions, a general rule of thumb is to have your refrigerant level checked at least once a year, preferably before the start of the cooling season.
Signs of low refrigerant:
- Reduced cooling: If your AC isn’t keeping your home as cool as it used to, low refrigerant could be the culprit.
- Frozen coils: Ice formation on the evaporator coils is often a sign of insufficient refrigerant.
- Unusual noises: Gurgling or hissing sounds may indicate a leak.
