How Do I Know My AC Unit Needs More Refrigerant?

Sometimes it takes work to tell when your air conditioning needs more refrigerant. Before heading off to the store or calling the professionals, here are some tips and tricks to determine if your AC needs more refrigerant. 

Look For These Signs And More

Knowing if your air conditioning unit needs refrigerant may seem daunting. But with the right mindset and direction, you can check your AC refrigerant levels and make sure there are no leaks. Here is what to watch out for:

  • Bubbling or hissing sounds happen when your AC is not running.

  • The air from your vents is not cold. 

  • The AC constantly runs without cooling your home. 

  • You have abnormally high energy bills (this could also be due to running the unit all day).

  • There is ice on the refrigerant lines. 

There are many more things to look out for when checking to see if your air conditioning requires refrigerant (or if there is a leak). But the above information should be enough to determine the need for a professional to come in and check for you.
