Hi guys, I recently installed a split system in my room and there was a very slight leak on one of my flare fittings. The indoor unit will freeze up which I believe means it's low on refrigerant.
I have a bottle of r290 and would like to know if will mix ok with r410a in larger quantities, I know r290 is added to help oil return but that's only a very small amount. I'm not sure how much to add but this unit basically cost me nothing to install, so I'm prepared to experiment with it by adding small amounts of r290 but only if it will mix ok and not cause problems.
Thanks
