Refuelling or additional refuelling of the air conditioner with Freon starts from 50 euros. The cost depends on the type of the required refrigerant, its quantity and availability of the external unit of the air conditioner.
To detect freon leakage in the air-conditioner you should pay attention to such signs:
- Freezing on the pipes of the outdoor unit.
- Time delay between switching on and starting the air conditioner.
- Error on the screen of the indoor unit.
- Oil stains on the pipes.
- Air conditioner stops cooling.
- Inability to start the air conditioner.
If these symptoms are detected, there is probably a Freon leak. In this case, you should immediately switch off the unit and call a master to avoid serious breakdowns and excessive expenses for repair or replacement.
Failure to charge the air conditioner in a timely manner may result in refrigerant leakage, reduced efficiency and various malfunctions:
- Decreased cooling capacity.
- Decreased pressure in the system.
- Overheating of the compressor.
- Damage to system components.
It is also necessary to recharge the air conditioner after repair work or equipment replacement, when the refrigerant is removed and then reintroduced back into the system.
