Typical air conditioner maintenance includes checking the refrigerant and refilling if it is low. However, this does not mean the owners can refuel their climate control appliances orienting “by eye”. First, you should make sure that it is really necessary.
Several signs can determine the need for recharging. Loss of power, reduced cooling/heating quality, or no cooling/heating are signs of low refrigerant. The appearance of ice (frost) at the junction of copper pipes also indicates a refrigerant leak. If such problems are detected, the owner should arrange a maintenance visit. A professional will make sure that there are no other malfunctions.
