From there, we inspect the compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, and all lines and connections.

A proper diagnosis will identify the exact cause so the right repair is performed.</p> <h3>Can I just add refrigerant myself?</h3> <p>Store-bought recharge kits add refrigerant but do not fix leaks and can overcharge the system, potentially causing damage. A professional service checks for leaks first and adds the correct amount of refrigerant.</p> <h3>How often does auto A/C need to be serviced?</h3> <p>A/C systems do not have a fixed service interval like oil changes. Have it checked when you notice a drop in cooling performance. If your system is working well, it does not need routine recharging.</p> <h3>How long does an A/C repair take?</h3> <p>A straightforward refrigerant recharge can be done within an hour. Compressor or condenser replacement may take several hours. We will give you a time estimate once we have diagnosed the problem.</p>
