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.

Recommendations

Ensure each fitting is securely tightened as recommended by your manufacturer to prevent refrigerant leakage.

Symptoms Indicating You Need an A/C Recharge
