We offer kits for DIY refilling of car and home air conditioning systems

To refill the air conditioning system yourself, you need specific products such as AC recharge gas, a hose with a pressure gauge (to measure pressure), and protective gloves.

The process is relatively simple. Connect the hose with the pressure gauge to the appropriate ports in the AC system, and then, following the instructions included with the gas, refill the system with the correct amount of refrigerant. It is important to be cautious and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Besides refilling the AC system, there are several other repairs you can perform yourself. For example, you can use a rubber seal conditioner to eliminate minor leaks. Additionally, replacing the AC dryer and topping up compressor oil are also tasks that can be done independently.

A car’s air conditioning system operates on a cooling cycle in which the refrigerant plays a key role. Over time, due to various factors (e.g., small leaks, natural seepage), the refrigerant level may decrease. This affects the AC’s performance and may lead to malfunction. Regular refilling helps maintain the system in good condition.

The frequency depends on several factors, such as the age of the car, how often the AC is used, and its technical condition. It is recommended to regularly check the refrigerant level and refill it when necessary, ideally following the car manufacturer’s guidelines.

Refilling the AC at a service center involves higher labor costs. Doing it yourself is much cheaper, as you only pay for the necessary products. Additionally, DIY refilling saves time you would otherwise spend visiting a service center.

The cost depends on the method you choose. A service center will charge more for the service, while DIY refilling only requires purchasing the gas, a hose with a pressure gauge, and any additional needed products.
