Old Leaking Condenser Coils

Old coil with HVAC Refrigerant Leaks

Old Leaking Condenser Coils (also referred to as freon leaks) can cause serious issues with HVAC heat pump equipment. HVAC refrigeration circuits are designed and built to hold the refrigerant. It is a sealed hermetic system. The HVAC refrigeration circuit should never need refrigerant. An HVAC refrigeration system does not burn refrigerant. The refrigerant is used over and over again to move heat from one place to another. Aside from a leak, once the refrigeration system is properly charged, the system should never need refrigerant for the life of the equipment. (more…)

What you will learn from HVAC Refrigerant Leaks:

  1. This article will instruct you on the top reasons and places in the HVAC system for refrigerant leaks. Some people say Freon® leaks.
  2. What happens when an air conditioner or heat pump has a low refrigerant charge as a result of a refrigerant leak. How a refrigerant leak affects your AC system.
  3. What you will see or experience with your heating and air conditioning HVAC system if you have a refrigerant leak.
  4. Why HVAC Contractors do not provide warranties for refrigerant leaks for heating and air systems.
  5. Making the decision to repair the leak or replace the system.
  6. Basic air conditioning repair and heat pump repair. How repairing a leak will take your system from low efficiency to high efficiency. This can also apply to a mini-split or ductless system.
