Mobile A/C Recharge at Your Home or Office
When your car’s air conditioning starts losing power and fails to blow cool air, it may be time for an A/C recharge. Recharging your A/C involves adding more refrigerant to your A/C system to restore cold air circulation. However, it's essential to note that recharging your A/C is a temporary solution to a potentially larger issue. If your system is lacking refrigerant, it likely has a leak that needs inspection and repair by a certified mechanic. Refrigerant doesn't evaporate in a sealed system, indicating a leak must be present. Don’t risk being stranded or incurring further expenses due to A/C recharge problems. Contact My Mechanic Malaysia to have your A/C recharged by an experienced mobile mechanic who will come to you, ensuring you can drive confidently without A/C issues.
What is A/C Recharge?
When an air conditioning system loses its cooling ability, recharging the system may be necessary. Below outlines the process of recharging the A/C system when it's low on pressure or has been vacuumed out following a repair. Although an A/C recharge can be performed at home, it's considered a more professional repair due to involving work with hazardous liquids, best left to a certified mechanic.
How is A/C Recharge Done?
- Turn on your A/C.
- Determine if the A/C compressor is engaging.
- Test the pressure.
- Attach the recharge hose from the kits.
- Restart the vehicle and monitor the gauge.
- Thread the refrigerant can onto the recharge hose.
- Return to the inside of the car and check the temperature.
