How important is the vacuum on an AC system?
Many types of heating and cooling systems rely on refrigerants to transfer heat. They are often essential to how the refrigeration process works in AC equipment.
But, did you know refrigerants have enemies in an HVAC system? Any air, water, or nitrogen in the unit can prevent the refrigerant from doing its job correctly and cause damage to the equipment. The only other substance that can exist in the system is oil.
A proper vacuum will:
- Prevent your machine from freezing
- Increase the longevity of your compressor
- Prevent refrigerant gas contamination
- Save your money
Hire a licensed company to carry out work on your AC.
