HVAC checking the proper charge

[Rico Parker]

I am a new HVAC tech and I am still not clear on the easy way to check the proper charge of refrigerant. I have read the superheat approach, but it seems too complicated to use in the field. I am curious is there an easy to check the charge or can someone explain superheat method in a simple manner

Home inspectors don't check the charge. You'd find better advice here.

Having been in the HVAC field for over 15 years I can say and I think Charlie will back me up on this, If you have to ask you should not be calling yourself a technician.

What is so hard about superheat?

Post your question.
I wouldn't know where to begin!
