Mobile Air Conditioning Evacuate and Recharge at Home or Office
When the interior of your car isn’t sufficiently cool for comfort, opting for a mobile air conditioning evacuate and recharge service might be the most convenient solution to bring back the coolness to your vehicle. A malfunctioning air conditioning system not only affects the temperature inside your car but can also impact your defogger, as they both operate off the same compressor. This could make it challenging to see through the windshield on humid days. A mobile mechanic from My Mechanic Malaysia can come to your location, whether it's your home or office, and provide you with an auto repair estimate to service and repair your car.
What Is an Air Conditioning Evacuate and Recharge Service?
Whenever you replace or repair an air conditioning component in your car, it’s necessary to evacuate the system before recharging it. This step is essential even for minor repairs, such as hose replacements, because once the system is open, outside moisture can seep in and potentially cause future damage by freezing. Evacuation ensures that all gases are removed before new refrigerant is added.
How Is an Air Conditioning Evacuate and Recharge Service Done?
A trained mechanic hooks up specialized equipment that monitors both the high and low-pressure sides of the air conditioning system. Using a special vacuum, they remove any air, gas, and moisture from the system. Throughout the process, they monitor the gauges connected to the high and low-pressure sides to maintain the correct pressure and check for leaks. If a leak is detected, further repairs may be necessary. If everything checks out, the car’s air conditioning system is recharged, and the mechanic tests it using the same gauges.
Can I Do an Air Conditioning Evacuate and Recharge Service Myself?
While it’s technically possible to perform this service yourself, it's not advisable unless you're familiar with your car’s air conditioning system. Without proper training, you risk damaging the system. Trained mechanics know how to interpret the gauges and ensure the pressures are within the correct range. Additionally, evacuating and recharging the air conditioning system requires specialized equipment that may not be practical for the average at-home mechanic to own. While self-service cans of refrigerant are available, there’s a risk of overfilling and creating pressure issues if the instructions aren’t carefully followed. Since the air conditioning system should be completely sealed, refrigerant shouldn’t need to be added unless there’s a problem.
