anyone know anything about recharging air conditioners?

Um, so in the ongoing saga of "the damn heat/air don't work" today the landlord and repairman are supposed to come by to put in the new heating unit. Which will be fabulously wonderful until the end of the week when it will be too hot for heat.

So, I asked him why he can't make the air work today too. Because, honestly, it is hot enough in here right now to run the flipping air conditioner. But he said that in order to charge it properly it would have to be "at least 75 outside" and "at least 85 inside". Which I think is bullshit because over the weekend, I heard it only had to be 55 outside to charge an air conditioner (it is supposed to be 65 today).

Any more information?

  • I know how to recharge an A/C in a car. It just means you refill the freon in the system. To do this, you have to run the A/C at max, attach the freon to the system, and open the valve. It can take a while (like 15 minute) before the freon is in the system, then you should let it run another 5-15 minutes. So you'll need the A/C jacked on for like an hour... if its cold, already, it could just freeze the apartment, though I don't know if I remember any temperature reasons you couldn't recharge it.

    • They are putting in a new heating/air unit, because the old one was unrepairable. So they have to charge up this new one they put in. I'm not sure if it being new makes a difference or not. I just kind of figured they were giving me a crock of baloney.
