Refrigerant, most often referred to as Freon, is a strong chemical that is responsible for cooling down warm air before, helping your HVAC system direct cool air into your home. If the reference was uncharged during installation, or there is a leak within the container that holds it, then you may experience a leak. You want to address these types of leaks immediately because refrigerant can be hazardous to humans, pets, and the environment.

If you simply need a top off of refrigerant, you can expect to pay anywhere from $160-$375.
