What Are the Signs of an AC Refrigerant Leak?

Monday, August 5th, 2024

One of the most common issues with central air conditioners and heat pumps is a refrigerant leak. Although these systems are designed to hold the full amount of refrigerant they should ever need across their 10-15-year lifespan, leaks can develop, leading to an insufficient amount of refrigerant for the AC to work properly.

Leaks can develop for a variety of reasons: an amateur or DIY installation job, faulty equipment, factory defects, wear and tear over time, and corrosion. Not only is breathing in refrigerant dangerous, but your AC system will never be able to cool down your home efficiently if it is leaking refrigerant. Let’s go over six signs that your AC has a refrigerant leak that will require air conditioning repair in Winder, GA.
