Not if it works. You would add freon if it seems to run forever and not cool, or believe it or not, if the unit freezes up and stops running. Dirty filters can also cause a bunch of trouble so that's the easy fix. Adding freon is not something just anyone can do. You have to know the type of freon, have the gauges to test the pressures and now you have to have a license to buy the stuff. Especially for a house unit. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cathy Harris To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2010 8:29 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] air conditioner
Should you have any Freon added?

If it's outside make sure there are no weeds or leaves, high grass blocking the fins. Then fire it up. You shouldn't need anyone for help unless it doesn't work. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jennifer Jackson To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 7:37 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] air conditioner It is time to start up my central air conditioning unit soon. I am trying to put it off, but I have to face it. What has to be done to get it ready for the season? Do I need a service guy to inspect it, or can I do it myself? money is definitely an issue this time too. My husband just went on short term disability and that has cut our income in to less than half of what it was.
