Common leak spots for air conditioners.

One of my most common spots that I find leaking is the indoor evaporator coil. If you find that you are having to add refrigerant every year and that addition is more than a pound, you might want to have a professional check the system. As stated above the indoor coil is a common spot, however, sometimes we find that the systems are left without caps at the condenser too. This is also a likely spot to have refrigerant leaking.
If your system takes R-22 refrigerant, you may want to consider that this refrigerant is only going to be manufactured until the end of this year and this means that it will become very expensive because the only refrigerant that will be available will be recovered from old systems and returned to like new condition. Leaks on R-22 systems will likely cost a lot more next year.
Sorry for the bad news, but knowing about this now may help to avoid a more costly repair in the future.
