We have all known someone who has had low Freon with their air conditioner, or for some individuals, that person is them. One of the most common issues people say for the reason why their air conditioner is not performing as well as it should be is related to wasted Freon, which prompts them to call the assistance of a professional air conditioning service. Zephyrhills residents might be under the impression that an air conditioning unit needs to have Freon added to it every year, but this is not entirely accurate. Most of the time when a homeowner is having issues with their air conditioner and its Freon, it is most likely going to be a leak somewhere that’s causing the low Freon levels.
Small Holes Causing Issues
Many people attribute their air conditioning troubles to using up all of their Freon, but it is more likely that there is a small hole somewhere that has not been addressed. It should be made the most important issue to find a leak and correct it than to keep adding Freon into a system with the help of a professional air conditioning service. Zephyrhills residents might know these leaks as pinhole leaks or champagne leaks, because there is often one spot where tiny Freon bubbles will appear if there is a hole.
What Causes a Freon Leak?
There are many reasons why the Freon of a homeowner’s air conditioner is starting to leak. The most obvious reason for a hole in an AC system would be human error. Maybe someone hit the air conditioner or the tubing that is associated with it. Even with an air conditioning service, Zephyrhills residents should also know that a common problem that can cause a Freon leak could be due to poor manufacturing from companies that make air conditioning parts. Another reason could be the cause of a bad technician where they installed a part incorrectly causing it to break and cause a hole somewhere.
