my first response is why?...if you are not a trained technician, refrigerant gas can be potentially a dangerous substance. it is under high pressure and can cause burns!!..if the unit is not cooling properly, you have to figure out why. is the filter and or coil dirty? is the unit too small?..is the thermostat not working properly? these and other questions must be answered before you delve into the refrigerant gas!!...hope this helps!! you have to install a inline valve on the line it will install without loss of freon then you can pump the freon out.

Your window air conditioner has a chemical smell what is it?
The most common odor problem from a window ac unit is that there is a buildup over time in the drip pan. The pan collects condensation and allows it to drain through a hole in the ac unit. Over time the pan will collect dirt and other particles, and can develop mold. With the ac unit unplugged the cover will need to be removed, and the pan scraped out and washed.
How do you add freon to your home ac unit?
It requires special equipment, and legally, a license to handle refrigerants. I'm not being mean. If you are talking about a window AC, you simply can't without having brazing equipment and the skill to use it, plus about $3000 of other equipment to recycle the refrigerant. For a central unit, if you are low on freon, you have a leak, and that must be fixed. Simply adding freon to a damaged system will accomplish nothing. On cost alone, depending on how much you value AC, you are much better off having AC guys come out.
