Hi Home Repair Gurus..

Is it normal for an brand new AC unit (installed in a newly built home)
to require replacing about half the freeon (say about 2 pounds worth)
after about 6 years..

My AC recently stopped blowing cool air (even though the fan is on),
even after replacing the filter, and the AC tech said that there was
some freezing that had occurred due to a lack of freeon, and that it had
to be replaced..

Thanks

No, it isn't normal. It has a leak. If a leak search wasn't suggested by
the tech, then call someone else out to run one, obviously the guy that
juiced it simply didn't want to do a leak search, and would probably not
do it right even if you called back and insisted.
