Perhaps you\u2019re really handy around the house, and enjoy taking on fix-it projects.\u00a0 Adding refrigerant to your HVAC system \u2013 what we call a \u201cshot of Freon\u201d \u2013 is definitely NOT a do-it-yourself task!<\/p>\n
When your air conditioner is low on Freon, it means this colorless gas is leaking out from somewhere in the system (see\u00a0Causes of Refrigerant Leaks). Typically, you will see ice forming on either the inside or outside unit or both.\u00a0 If this happens you need to turn the HVAC system off completely, wait for it to thaw out, and call an HVAC professional.<\/p>\n
Here are just some of the many reasons why you cannot just \u201cadd a shot of Freon\u201d to your AC yourself:<\/p>\n
The bottom line is this: if you\u2019re cost conscious, then the best \u201cbargain\u201d is calling an HVAC professional when your system needs a shot of Freon.<\/p>\n
