Low on freon

Posted by Stormin Mormon on August 20, 2009, 9:57 pm

Everyone I talk to about refrigeration. It's not cooling
right, must be low on freon. I'm so totally tired of
hearing that. Well, maybe it's time to surrender to the
urban legend, instead of trying to educate the world. From
now on, everyone gets gages and a couple ounces (at least)
of freon. If they're buying, I'm selling.

I might also fix the problem while I'm there, but quietly
so.

I've been telling a guy for months that his HVAC and
refrigeration needs cleaning, now he's in a big hurry.
He ran the 5 ton without a filter, it looks like it
had someone throw mud up into the A coil. GEEZ!

Sounds like that A-coil needs to be replaced? Wet coil plus
dust. Yes, that adds up to mud.

A friend of mine from church. I met him when his family
moved in Central AC with 4 ton condensor. Not cooling. I put
the gages on, and it's low charge. Also I can see obviously
that it needs cleaning. Add some refrigerant and strongly
advise him about the cleaning.

About two years later, the compressor burns out, probably
due to over heating. He was kind enough to ask me to replace
the condensing unit.

Always remember to figure in the "dumb fuck" factor.

Mud throwing? Are you that hard up for business? Next it will be sending
out kids with air guns with 25 cent bounties on condensing units. ;-)
