A leak is the only way to loose volume of the freon charge. Freon is in a sealed system and it does not get used up. If your system is tight the freon will last forever. However a restriction in the freon lines can cause the freon pressure on the low side to look like it is low but the freon is really stacking up in the condensor.

How long will freon last for AC I installed my AC a year ago and it looks like it's needed freon. Is it normal that freon last for a year or should it last more than that?
the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck.... the freon is not a a consumable part of your airconditioner...you only lose it if you have a leak in the system...and you should not have a freon leak within a year unless there is a maufacturing defect...or just bad luck....
How do you add Freon to your freezer unit?
First you need to find the leak, you should never lose refridgerant unless there is a leak.
Can a reverse air conditioning lose freon when the heat is turned on?
Does a tire with a slow leak lose air when you are driving in reverse?
Central home air conditioner continues to lose freon and requires charging every 2 weeks or so. It has continued for 2 years. Why does a central home air conditioner continue to lose freon?
The answer should seem obvious... you have a leak. It could be anywhere in the system, which is unfortunate for you. You'll probably need a tech to come and do a leak test on your system.
What is causing your 5 month old Air Conditioner to lose freon each month?
You have a leak; most likely in the high pressure side of the system.
Can freon lose its cooling properties over time?
No. You can loose volume and not cool as well, but as long as the amount of freon in a given system remains the same it will cool. The cooling properties come from the freon changing from liquid to gas and back again. It doesn't wear out.
How do you know if you need freon in your car?
First, you need to understand that you will never need to add Freon to your AC system if there are no leaks or a leak anywhere in the AC system. The only time you run low or lose all the Freon is if there's a leak like I just said. Secondly, when your AC system stops blowing cool air, several things could be bad. (1) Freon leaked out because of a small opening or loose connection somewhere. (2) Compressor clutch is warned out. (3) The compressor itself is broken. Issue (1) Fix; the leak must be fixed before you recharge the system with Freon. Again, you will never run out of Freon unless there's a leak in the system. If you don't fix the leak, they'll escape again after the recharge and you'll continue to recharge the system indefinitely or at least until the leak is fixed. Issue (2) Fix; replace the clutch as they wear out just like the clutch on a manual transmission. Issue (3) Fix; repair or replace the compressor. Hope this helps!
