Air Conditioner Coolant Explosion
Posted On: July 10, 2023
I just spent several hours taking my AC apart to clean it and I put it back together and it was working fine for an hour but then it blew up and flew back into my room ejecting coolant everywhere.
Googling this situation seems to give me no results whatsoever.
I need to know if the coolant is safe or entirely toxic at all with it going into my bedsheets and essentially everything in my room.
Question from user Speedwagon1935 at AirConditioners at reddit.
Air conditioning systems typically use a refrigerant, which is a type of coolant, to cool the air. The most commonly used refrigerants in residential air conditioners are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or a blend of HFCs. These refrigerants are designed to be non-toxic and safe for normal use in air conditioning systems.
However, if your air conditioner malfunctioned and there was an unexpected release of coolant, it's important to take precautions. While the coolant used in residential air conditioners is generally considered safe, it can still cause some problems if it comes into direct contact with your skin or if you inhale it in large quantities.
If coolant has been released into your room and has come into contact with your bedding and other items, it would be a good idea to clean them thoroughly. Wear protective gloves and use a mild detergent and water to wash any affected surfaces. Open windows and doors to ventilate the room and allow fresh air to circulate.
If you experience any adverse symptoms such as skin irritation, respiratory issues, or eye irritation after coming into contact with the coolant, it would be wise to seek medical attention. It's also a good idea to contact a professional HVAC technician to inspect and repair your air conditioning system to prevent any further issues.
Please note that it's always best to consult with a qualified professional or contact the manufacturer of your specific air conditioning unit for more accurate and detailed advice in such situations.

Twintech replaced our aging furnace and air conditioner recently. I highly recommend this company. Their quote was competitive, they were on time and respectful of our home and extremely professional. From the salesman to the installers and the owner who followed up afterward to ensure we were satisfied, we are very pleased with the service. We are looking forward to working with this company for all of our HVAC needs for the years to come. Excellent workmanship and service!

We wanted to get our AC replaced as it was 22-years old and added to this our furnace was costing more and more to repair. So, we decided to get both the furnace and AC replaced.
After going through a few quotes and product reviews we decided to go with Twintech. The three-men crew arrived early in the morning, wasted no time and got to work right away. By 2:00 pm, they were all done. Ive found their work to be top notch and they were completely professional. I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction both during the progress of their work and at end.
I have pleasure in recommending Twintech to anyone who is looking to get their furnace or Ac replaced

Our air conditioner died On a Saturday and within hours Dave came out to take a look and discuss replacement/repair options.
The new air conditioner was installed on the Wednesday. The new unit was installed quickly. The installers were friendly and cleaned up afterwards.
We noticed a slight leak around the furnace that night and they came out the next day and fixed the issue. It has been working great and is quieter than our previous unit.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend TwinTech.

I contacted TwinTech to replace my 20-year old A/C. Dave, their service rep, promptly replied and was at my home within 2 hours. He was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't try to upgrade or oversell their A/C units but suggested the best fit for my small 1000 feet bungalow. Although this was during a heatwave and very busy, they were able to fit me in 2 days later. The TwinTech crew installed a 1.5 ton Ducane A/C unit that is now running smoothly while maintaining a constant cooling temperature. The crew were very courteous, professional and efficient and I will definitely recommend TwinTech to family and friends. I much appreciated your great service.

TwinTech was a pleasure to deal with from the estimate through installation. We replaced a 28 year old a/c unit with one recommended by TwinTech's sales representative Dave who took the time to go over the product with us and answer any questions. The warranty is for 10 years parts and labour and they will complete the registration for you. Installation was by Greg (owner) and Mitch and Spencer who were quick and efficient and left everything clean and tidy.

Very professional, from the sales consultation and inspection to the final installation. Met every expectations we had for the job. A local business with great client support. We highly recommend. Twintech is a blue chip! Thanks!
