with an electronic leak detector or other professional leak detection equipment. Professionals should be called immediaterly as it could be a serious health and safety risk, also a threat to the environment.
Find the source of the water and correct it.
You can find a Freon leak in a home Ac unit by using a leak detector. These instruments are capable of detecting trace amounts of Freon and pinpoint leaks.
It usually means that your system has developed a leak. Your AC system is charged with freon gas. If a certain amount leaks out, a safety device prevents the AC compressor from starting. Without the compressor, no cold air.
take it to a shop that recharges ac and get them to charge it and check for any leaks in the system. probably be about 80$
Bad seal on compressor? Leak in system
Generally, when the refrigerant in the AC system has leaked out( usually due to a hose or seal) a safety switch in the AC system shuts down the compressor so it does not burn itself out. When this happens your AC will not funtion. At this point the system needs to be charged and a 'sniffer'is used to detect the leak.
you may need to recharge your system My system is charged and has no leaks. Could it be my climate control module??
Throughout the world the system used for home electrification is alternating current (AC).
A leak most likely, your mechanic can run a dye through the A/C system to find any leaks and patch them.
Never. A properly operating AC unit will have no leaks, thus never need recharging.
Charge with leak detector
That depends on what kind of AC system it is (e.g., home, commercial, automotive) and when it was manufactured.
