Don't Get Scammed: Bad AC compressor or Freon pressure

Join Dean Casey and technician George from Casey Services as they explain how to avoid getting scammed by HVAC technicians claiming you need a new AC compressor when the issue may be as simple as low Freon pressure or a dirty condenser coil. This video provides valuable insights for homeowners to understand their AC systems better and recognize dishonest service practices.

Dean starts by addressing a common scam scenario: a technician diagnosing a bad compressor, which is a costly replacement, when the problem could instead be related to the AC's capacitor or Freon levels. He emphasizes that an AC unit, being a sealed system, should not require additional Freon unless there is a leak, which itself needs addressing rather than just topping off the Freon.

George explains the function of the capacitor as a boost for starting the compressor and fan motor and continues to describe how improper Freon levels can mislead homeowners. He also details how a dirty condenser coil or improper fan operation can mimic symptoms of a Freon shortage, leading to incorrect diagnoses and unnecessary replacements.

The video also highlights the importance of regular AC maintenance, including checking for clean coils and proper fan operation, to prevent overheating and inefficient functioning. Dean and George demonstrate how to check Freon levels correctly and discuss the implications of an overcharged system, which can damage the compressor and lead to significant repair costs.

To ensure you're dealing with reputable technicians, Dean recommends working with NATE-certified professionals who are less likely to engage in fraudulent practices. He underscores the importance of being informed and asking the right questions when an HVAC technician services your unit.
