What should be the difference between inside and outside air be when the thermostat is set at 68 with referigated air-conditioning in the home?
Depends on the outdoor temp. If it's 75 outside, your system should easily bring your house down to the 68 degree setpoint. If it's 100 degrees outside, you'll never get there. Unless, that is, your system is too big for your home. Then it will cool you down just fine, but you'll have humidity problems...that's a whole other discussion. Most central air conditioning units are designed to maintain a 75 degree indoor temp at 55% relative humidity on a 95 degree day. So a indoor/outdoor temperature difference of about 20 degrees or so is what you should expect.
How do you tell if your home heating system needs freeon?
I guess you have a heatpump or you would not be asking this. You need a set of freon pressure guages and the heater specs. Now you learn what the pressure lines are suppossed to be doing at the temperatures inside and outside and adjust the freon accordingly.
Why do houses have insulation?
Houses need insulation to keep indoor temperature manageable. Without it, the heat or cool air conditioning a home owner puts inside will not be contained.
Does it damage or wear out a home air conditioning system if you let the fan run constantly?
Running a room with the a/c on is not harmful to the system. In fact, it is a good way of saving energy. Most window or wall a/c's units have a dial or some other feature that opens a small trap door that lets air from outside be exchanged with stale air inside a room. One thing you must remember is that a fan cools a person not a room. Personally, we have a central a/c and keep a window in the bedroom open about 1/2 inch so air can circulate and not get stagnate. This also applies in the winter because it is one way to eliminate radon from building up.
Are freon leaks harmful if they are indoors?
R22 (commonly referred to by the brand Freon) is not a toxic substance. Its main danger would be the potential for oxygen displacement just as any other gas that is heavier than air, causing symptoms of asphyxiation. Some people may be highly sensitive to environmental substances in general, and have an asthmatic type response to R22. In the scope of a home system for example, unless the system is leaking the better portion of its charge in a matter of a day or two, there is no danger to the home or inhabitants. In rare cases, very rare, ammonia or an uncommon refrigerant could be used, but the majority of home A/C's for generations have been R22.

What exactly is central air conditioning I know I have AC, but what makes it central?
Central air conditioning is an air conditioning system with a central unit that distributes air to the rest of the house through vents. Some people have air conditioning units that are separate for each room, but most houses today have a centralized unit, usually located outside the home, which pumps air to each part of the house through the ventilation system. That is what is referred to as Central Air conditioning, because there is just one centralized unit cooling the entire place, as opposed to many autonomous units cooling each room.
