Quick refrigerant leak?

10 years ago

How quick can refrigerant leak out of a residential air conditioning unit? I have one that was cooling then stopped cooling. A technician advised it was practically empty, "flat". Is it possible that something could have caused a quick leak over a couple of days?

How quick can it leak out? As quick as it can be put in.
Is it possiable something could cause a quick leak? Certainly.

how old is it ? A corroded high side line can blow and the
system can empty in seconds.
