What Does an AC Recharge Do For Your Vehicle?

Over time, your AC system may lose refrigerant due to leaks or through the passage of time, leading to reduced cooling performance in your vehicle. A recharge restores the optimal level of R134a refrigerant to your vehicle. Here are the steps involved for this service:

  • Vacuum old refrigerant from the AC system.
  • Add the required R134a refrigerant to models newer than 1994.
  • Test for leaks and pressurize the AC

Signs Your Vehicle's AC May Need a Refrigerant Recharge

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can a car lose Freon without a leak?

    Over time, some refrigerants can slowly permeate through the materials of the hoses and seals in the AC system. While this is a gradual process, it can lead to reduced refrigerant levels without any visible signs of leakage from the AC.

  • Is R12 Freon still available?

    No, R12 Freon is not made any longer. Instead, R134a, which is a more efficient refrigerant has replaced R12. However, that doesn't mean you can simply put R12 refrigerant into any vehicle. 


    If your car or truck was made before 1994, and you can't find R12 Freon, then you'll have to convert your air conditioning to the new standard.

  • Can You Buy Used R12 Freon?

    Yes, you can purchase used R12 Freon. Used Freon can be cleaned to remove contaminants and used again in your air conditioning.

  • How often should your car AC be recharged?

    Most manufacturers recommend recharging your car's air conditioning (AC) system every one to two years as part of routine maintenance. This schedule helps maintain optimal performance but sometimes you may need it sooner. 


    If you notice signs of low refrigerant, such as warm air blowing from the vents or a significant decrease in cooling effectiveness, you may need to recharge it sooner.
