Best Answer

You typically need about 1 ton of cooling per 1,000 square feet. There are 12,000 btu's on one ton of air conditioning. Installing a larger unit thinking that it will work better and cool faster is not recommended at all, and in fact can result in poorer performance. In the case of A/C more is not better ,,, less is bad, too ... just get what you need and all will be good.

How do you know if you need air conditioner refrigerant in your home?

If your air conditioner blows air but it's not cold air then you probably need freon in your air conditioner

The answer should seem obvious... you have a leak. It could be anywhere in the system, which is unfortunate for you. You'll probably need a tech to come and do a leak test on your system.
