Since they switched to new refrigerant the cost of refrigerant has gone up a lot. So just keep in mind that you should never have to recharge your system, if you do, you have a problem. Refrigerant just doesn't disappear, its a closed system.That's good to know. What other types of service should I consider for the HVAC system? Aside from the obvious stuff like changing out the filters. The guy told me I should turn off the AC every now and then and pour a mix of bleach and water into the vent for the trap to clean out whatever gunk is growing in there.
