A Greenwood homeowner called because the indoor fan was blowing, but the outdoor unit would not kick on, so the house was not cooling.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician checked the system from the thermostat out to the outdoor unit. This is an older system that runs on R-22, the refrigerant (the fluid that carries heat out of your home) that is no longer made. The system needed refrigerant added.
What We Completed
- Checked why the outdoor unit was not starting while the indoor fan ran.
- Checked the refrigerant level on the older R-22 system.
- Added R-22 refrigerant.
- Went over what we found with the homeowner.
The Result
The system was charged with R-22 refrigerant. Because R-22 is no longer made and gets harder to find, it is worth talking through repair and replacement options before the next problem. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- A running fan does not mean the AC is cooling. If the air is not cold, the outdoor unit may not be doing its part.
- Know what refrigerant your system uses. Older systems that use R-22 cost more to recharge over time.
- Low refrigerant usually means a leak somewhere. Ask about finding the leak if it keeps happening.
