When homeowners inquire about new air conditioning units, they often want to know if they come pre-charged with refrigerant. While freon is still a popular choice, more environmentally friendly options have become available that can provide superior cooling efficiency. Fortunately, most packaged air conditioning units are sold with refrigerant already inside. All that is required is to install the unit in its designated spot, connect it to the control voltage and high voltage, and locate the drain pipes.
After that, the unit must be tested, repaired, and recharged to the weight specified on the data label.
