A/C Recharge Service

What is an A/C Recharge Service and When Do I Need It?

An A/C recharge is the technical term for recycling and topping off your refrigerant, so that your air conditioner will blow cold air as it should. The material utilized used to be Freon, but this has since been replaced with a more environmentally friendly material. If you’re unsure as to whether your A/C system needs to be recharged, the answer is simple. It is not based upon mileage or a particular maintenance timeline. Instead, if your air conditioner starts blowing warm air, then it’s time for an A/C recharge. When your system is showing poor performance, schedule an appointment at Thompsons Toyota in Placerville, California.

 

 

What to Expect from an Air Conditioner Recharge Service at Thompsons Toyota

When you bring your Toyota in for an A/C recharge, our certified technicians will first inspect your air conditioning system to determine if there are any leaks or underlying issues you should be aware of. If your refrigerant level is low, this most likely means there is a leak within your reservoir, as it should not evaporate within a properly closed system. If a leak is identified, our technicians can repair it or replace any necessary components using genuine OEM parts from the manufacturer. As far as the actual recharge goes, we will first drain the refrigerant using extraction equipment and then run it through a system to remove contaminants. This recycled refrigerant will then be injected back into your Toyota’s system. If the level is low, we’ll top it off with additional refrigerant. Lastly, we will test your system to make sure it is operating properly.

The Perks of Having Your A/C Recharged by a Professional?

There are many routine services that a DIY automotive enthusiasts might want to handle themselves, and some are easier than others. With an A/C recharge, hazardous chemicals cannot be released into the environment, per EPA regulations. At Thompson’s Toyota, we have specialized extraction equipment to remove and re-inject these chemicals properly. We can also handle the proper environmental disposal of the refrigerant. So in the case of an A/C recharge, it’s best to leave this service to the professionals!
