If your aircon is low on refrigerant (commonly called Freon), simply adding more refrigerant is not the proper solution.
An air conditioning system is a sealed system, which means refrigerant does not get “used up” during normal operation. If the refrigerant level is low, it usually means there is a leak somewhere in the system.
Recharging the unit without finding and repairing the leak will only provide temporary cooling, and the refrigerant will eventually leak out again, leading to poor performance, higher electricity consumption, and unnecessary repair costs.
The correct process is to diagnose the cause of the low refrigerant by performing a leak inspection using the appropriate tools and procedures.
Once the leak is located, it should be repaired before the system is pressure-tested, evacuated with a vacuum pump to remove moisture and air, and then recharged with the correct type and amount of refrigerant according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Following the proper procedure ensures better cooling performance, protects the compressor from damage, and provides a longer-lasting repair instead of a temporary fix.
