It is advisable to call a technician to repair your air conditioning. He will solder the damaged pipe so that the freon wont leak anymore. Besides being dangerous, the lack of freon makes your air conditioner to work badly, and even stop refrigerating.
yes
On the older ones they take R-22 freon and on the newer ones with 410 Puron freon..........
r-22 (gentron), and r-410a (puron)
Usually there is a leak somewhere in the system.
Yes, especially if it is electric.
you have to be spcially trained to do so. If you arenot then call an a/c repairman and ask him if he can
That depends on the size of the coils and the length of line in between.
it would be R-22.. brand new units will have the new refrigerant and that is R-410
No. The sale of R-22 freon is restricted in the united states because if it's effects on the environment. The only people who are allowed to purchase R-22 freon are certified refrigeration and air conditioning technicians. If this is for your vehicles, you can buy a converter kit at any auto parts store. This will allow you to use R-134a to recharge your car's air conditioning.
Yes it can cause you to become dizzy,light headed and sleepy from what i understand after talking to the EPA. We are having a problem with freon leaking into our home with small children present after faulty work on our central air system.
R-22 until the year 2010.. then R-410 (puron) propane gas is also a direct drop in but it must be dried
Air conditioning systems for structures don't use the same refrigerants as vehicle AC systems do. Your AC system probably uses R22.
