you add the refrigerant in your outside unit but still is going to circulate to your inside unit doing a complete loop
Throughout the entire system, inside, outside and in the connecting piping.
yes you can you just have take the cover off the front of it, but first with a water hose wash outside and the inside off before you put the freon in.
Refrigerant is commonly added in the outside ac unit. The freon is filled through the low side ac port.
No, The refrigerant within the system is on the inside of the pipes and the water condensing on the coils from the moisture in the homes air and running out of the drain is on the outside of the pipes.
1. Low on freon.. 2. Electrical issues.. 3. Bad inside thermostat.. 4. Bad outside capacitors..
Probably close to or more than a new unit would cost.
clean coil on outside and check freon levelstopped up coil will cause this problem
Check your thermostat
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
A valve is used to reverse the flow of freon. In the heat mode, the high or hot side gas is pumped to the indoor unit, The low or cold side is pumped to the outdoor unit. The valve is reversed for the cool mode. Pumping cool gas to the indoor unit and hot gas to the outdoor unit.
The proper term is actually refrigerant - Freon is a specific brand name trademarked by DuPont for a series of CFC and HFC refrigerants - thus, an AC system only has Freon if it has the product manufactured by DuPont. Answering your question, yes, an outside AC unit uses refrigerant, although it's normally not the same type used in automotive AC systems.
if you had the gauges,the know how,and the epa card to purchase freon.Then sure.
