Let's talk about air conditioning service and repair issues. Most of us don't give our air conditioning a second thought if it is making cold air. But it's a complex and expensive system that we should think about before it starts blowing hot air. The refrigerant in the air conditioner contains a special oil that lubricates and cools the A/C parts. When enough of the refrigerant leaks out, your air conditioner still makes cold air, but the parts don't have enough oil to protect them. This causes them to wear out faster than they should, so it is important to service the air conditioner as recommended. Replacing old refrigerant has another benefit: refrigerant tends to gather moisture and vecome corrosive. That causes leaks in the system which can be expensive to repair. Fresh refrigerant protects the air conditioning components and keep the system operating at peak efficiency, so it doesn't have to work as hard to keep you cool. Even with regular serv ... read more
