“Do I need to somehow add 410A refrigerant to unit over time? And how? Do I need to somehow add 410A refrigerant to unit over time? I inherited the unit from previous tenant and I'm in a 12 foot ceiling, 18X12 Studio with sep. small kitchen and bathroom. The unit has been running for over a WEEK in NYC and my home is still over 80 degrees - yet the unit is pumping cold (but not freezingly yummy) air. Obviously, after research, this unit is not appropriate for the room size. However, do I need to add refrigerant? If yes, how?”

all a/c's will eventually need refrigerant. but 12 foot ceilings is your first problem. by a new a/c. the energy wasted is not worth while unless you dont pay electricity. you're in a studio, get a 10000 btu unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You do not need to ad refrigerant. The 5000 btu unit that you are asking about is made for a small bedroom (as you mentioned), approximate 10x10 or 10x12 with normal ceiling height. Even if the unit did happen to be low on refrigerant, it would not be able to cool your apartment if it were full. I would say at mininmum you would need a unit twice as large if not bigger to keep your apartment at a comfortable temperature. You can always call 1-800-Frigidaire if you need further help in slecting which size unit would work best
