Why Is Air Conditioner Refrigerant So Important?
Refrigerant is a fluid used in air conditioners to extract heat from the indoor air and transfer it outdoors. This process allows your AC unit to cool down the air inside your home, providing you with relief from the Sacramento County heat.
If your system has a refrigerant leak, it can cause serious problems. Not only will your air conditioner be unable to cool your home, but it can also damage the unit and even lead to a fire. That's why it is crucial to have any potential refrigerant leaks in your AC unit repaired the moment you notice them.
Know the Warning Signs of an AC Refrigerant Leak
Subpar cooling aside, here are some other common symptoms that your AC unit may be leaking refrigerant:
- Humid indoor air: Leaking refrigerant causes the unit to work harder, which can increase the humidity levels inside your home.
- Unusual noises: A refrigerant leak can cause the compressor and other internal parts of the AC unit to start making strange noises.
- Ice buildup: If you see ice forming on or near your unit, it means that the refrigerant in your system is dropping below freezing temperatures.
- Unusually high utility bills: When your AC unit is leaking refrigerant, it has to work extra hard just to keep the temperature consistent. This results in higher electricity bills for you!
When you call our trustworthy technicians at the Sacramento Metro Area for repairs, they can quickly fix the leak and prevent more refrigerant loss.
Another leading cause of poor cooling is a faulty evaporator coil. Learn more by exploring our evaporator coil services today.
Restore Your Cooling With a Freon Replacement
Low refrigerant, or freon, levels mean your air conditioner can't function as efficiently as it should. This is why we always apply a freon recharge after patching up leaks in a system. With your cooling fully restored, you can go back to enjoying the inside of your home all summer long.
