can you buy the equipment needed to put freon in a central air condition unit, if so where?

Question

preferably close to college station or huntsville, texas----what is the name of the equipment?

Answer 1

You need an HVAC license to put freon in anything. They won't sell it to you without the license.

Answer 2

Number 1) Freon is a trade name, trademarked by DuPont. The stuff is refrigerant, not freon.

2.) I have been in this trade for 30 years. I need to be licenced to service equipement, and be in possesion of a recovery unit. I can be reported and fined a lot of money if I do not follow proper procedure, or get caught venting refrigerant into the atmosphere.

3.) I had to be taught, trained, and gather experiance over the years to be up on current technology of the trade. Along with that, I have to know the safe way to do things, because if it is not done the right way, I could be severly injured or killed.

4.) I have to be registered at local wholesalers so I can purchase cans of various refrigerants. If I am not, I have to present my certification card to them.

Get the right person to do it for you. It may cost a little, but it will be better and safer this way.

Answer 3

It needs license and quite expensive equipment to charge freon into system. A vacuum pump, in the first place, nitrogen pressurising to check for leaks and leak detectors, gauges, etc. Forget it, unless you have done course in airconditioning.

Answer 4

If the A/C is like automobile A/C units; they aren't even using freon anymore. Talk to a heating and cooling specialist to have it repaired.

Answer 5

You will need a set of gage's and a license(to buy the freon) If you are going to fully recharge it a vacuum pump also.
