    How many pounds of freon will the carrier infinity lose before it shuts down
    How many pounds of freon will the carrier infinity system lose before it shuts down? The unit is 2 1/2 years old. I had a service tech come out and service the unit. He did enough that day to get the heat working because it was 26 degrees out. I was told it took 5 pounds of freon to get it working. When he came back a week later to find the leak he only put in another pound. Can you put that much freon in on such a cold day.

    To many variables to offer an exact answer but if the system has a leak it should be repaired. Depending upon exact size of system,length of lines, and inside coil size are all variables as to how much refrigerant a system will hold when properly charged.
