Don't Get Scammed: Do you really need Freon?

In this educational video, Dean & George from Casey Services dive into the common misconceptions and potential scams related to AC Freon replacements. Through this detailed presentation, we aim to empower homeowners with the knowledge they need to avoid unnecessary Freon charges, which can be both costly and detrimental to the efficiency of their AC unit.

We start with a hypothetical scenario involving a homeowner, Mrs. Smith, who is concerned about her malfunctioning air conditioner. Dean and George discuss the importance of HVAC technicians conducting thorough assessments before concluding that a unit is low on Freon. They emphasize the variety of issues that can mimic low Freon symptoms, such as problems with the blower motor, dirty evaporator coils, or inadequate ductwork, all of which can lead to incorrect pressure readings.

George points out that if a technician only checks Freon levels without assessing other potential causes of low pressure, this should raise a red flag for homeowners. Overcharging the unit with Freon without proper diagnostics can lead to more significant problems, reducing the system's efficiency and lifespan.

Dean advises homeowners to ask specific questions when a technician suggests adding Freon. Homeowners should inquire whether the capacitor and the "Delta-T," or the temperature differential across the evaporator coil, have been checked, ensuring that the diagnosis is accurate and necessary.

This video also highlights the importance of understanding HVAC system operations, encouraging homeowners to verify the temperature drop (Delta-T) across their AC system to check its efficiency. Dean suggests using a quality temperature probe to measure the return and supply air temperatures; a proper functioning system should show about a 20-degree difference.

"Don't Get Scammed: Do You Really Need Freon?" is essential viewing for any homeowner looking to understand their HVAC system better and avoid falling victim to unnecessary and costly repairs.
