Hackett homes southwest of Greenwood see the same late summer freeze ups we see across Sebastian County. In mid-September, a homeowner called because the unit had been freezing up. The filter had already been changed, and they wanted the refrigerant (the fluid that carries heat out of your home) checked.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician hooked up digital gauges (the meters that show system pressure) at the outdoor unit and checked the refrigerant level. The system was low and needed more refrigerant.
What We Completed
- Did a full system check and safety check.
- Checked the refrigerant level with gauges at the outdoor unit.
- Added refrigerant.
The Result
With the refrigerant brought back up, the system has what it needs to carry heat out of the home. If freeze ups or low refrigerant come back, a leak search is the right next step. Learn more about our AC repair service.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- A new filter is important, but it does not fix everything. Freeze ups can still point to low refrigerant or an airflow problem deeper in the system.
- Refrigerant does not get used up. If it is low, it leaked out somewhere.
- Gauges tell the truth. They show what the system needed that day.
