What Kind of Refrigerant Is YOUR AC Using?

Monday, May 24th, 2021

Air conditioners depend on the use of refrigerant for the cooling process to take place. As it’s cycled from coil to coil, pressurized into a gas and a liquid, it moves heat around so that we can enjoy comfortable temperatures on the hottest days of the year.
