How Frequently Should Refrigerant Be Recharged?

August 1st, 2016

Never. If your air conditioner is functioning properly, there is no need to recharge your refrigerant. As you’ll learn about a bit more in the following post, there is no point during the cooling process or the refrigerant cycle in which refrigerant is consumed. This means that a low refrigerant level is indicative of a problem. Either your system was insufficiently charged to begin with, meaning that it has never functioned at peak performance or efficiency levels, or that you have a refrigerant leak in your system. Either way, you need trained professionals to resolve the problem. Schedule your air conditioner services in Bolingbrook, IL with our team.
