Service Overview
A proper A/C recharge isn't a top-off can. We recover the old refrigerant, pull vacuum to verify seal integrity, and recharge with the exact weighed amount your system specifies.
Service involves refrigerant recovery and recharge, vacuum leak verification, vent-temperature measurement, and UV dye for future leak tracing.
Signs You Need This Service
- A/C blows cool, not cold
- Cooling fades at idle or in traffic
- Compressor cycling on and off rapidly
- A/C grew weaker over a season or two
Consequences of Ignoring It
- Compressor running low on refrigerant starves it of oil — the system's most expensive failure
- Moisture ingress corroding the system internally
- Paying for refrigerant that escapes through an unfound leak
Recommended Service Interval
A sealed system shouldn't need regular charges — fading cold means a slow leak worth finding.
