This refrigerant is vaporized and condensed during the life of a cooling cycle, and it travels through many tubes and coils to help achieve the temperature you want. These chemicals are harmful to the environment and can cause health issues, but it isn’t just an environment or health-related problem. A refrigerant leak will cause your air conditioner’s performance to suffer, and you will end up paying more for your energy bills as the efficiency declines. That’s why it’s so important to detect refrigerant leaks before the issue becomes too widespread. The lack of cooling from a leak becomes most apparent during the hotter days when you need your AC the most. What Is Refrigerant? To properly cool your home, an air conditioner uses refrigerant to absorb heat from the environment, runs that hot air through a series of compressors and evaporators, and returns it to your home. The refrigerant changes from a fluid to a gaseous state during this process, which helps with heat absorption. Though air conditioners can have different types of refrigerants, they all work in basically the same way. The Dangers of Refrigerant Leaks Refrigerant is necessary for your air conditioner to do its job, but unfortunately, refrigerant leaks are common and problematic. If your system becomes low on refrigerant, it can’t do its job, and you are left with a home that is too hot. If the refrigerant levels continue to drop, your air conditioner can freeze up, causing it to not work at all. If you continue to run the air conditioner, this frozen unit can cause serious damage. Refrigerant is also harmful to the environment, so stopping leaks is important for everyone. If you suspect that you have a refrigerant leak, don’t wait.
