Low refrigerant in your central air conditioner may begin with an assortment of initially insignificant symptoms.
As the refrigerant charge drops, however, these minor issues can turn into major dysfunction, eventually shutting down the system completely. Refrigerant absorbs heat from the airflow inside your house at the system evaporator coil, then conveys it to the outside condenser coil where it’s released into the air. The level of circulating refrigerant is a very precise specification.
If it declines below that amount, you may note any of the following signs:
Contact a qualified HVAC contractor to check the refrigerant charge. If it’s low, the culprit is usually a small leak somewhere. The service technician has the special tools to locate the leak and the expertise to make a permanent repair. After the leak is resolved, the refrigerant level can be restored to manufacturer’s specs and full cooling performance and efficiency returned to normal.
