These months are always the hottest ones of the year. We all rely on air conditioning to get us through these excruciatingly hot days. Without A/C, we might all melt. Freon gas is largely what's responsible for our A/C blowing out cool air. If you are low on Freon, you have probably felt warm air coming from your vents. Let us look at it and get it fixed for you. In the meantime, educate yourself by reading about how Freon keeps us cool.

How does Freon keep us cool?

It's a bit more complicated than your air conditioning system simply pumping in cool air. It's a complex process, but we will try to keep it as simple as we can. Basically, your air conditioner takes in hot air and converts it to cool air. Freon plays a big role in that.

Freon is a nonflammable gas that goes through a long process. This same process can be observed in a home refrigerator, more or less. Here is how it works. A compressor in the A/C system compresses the gas which actually makes it very hot. The hot Freon then moves through a series of coils which cools it off again and converts it into a liquid state. The liquid Freon then flows into an expansion valve which cools it even more and it turns back into a gas.

Alright, are you still with us? There isn't much more to go through.

The system then filters the gas as it goes through one more set of coils. It then passes through air filters which keep out dust, pollen, and other airborne debris. Finally, that Freon gas becomes cool, fresh air coming through your dash vents. We didn't lie when we said it's complicated.
