Frequently asked questions

How often should AC be recharged?

A sealed system shouldn't need regular recharging. If yours does every year, that's a sign of a leak rather than normal maintenance.

Is a recharge a permanent fix?

Only if there's no leak. The technician checks for leaks first so the recharge actually lasts.
