A/C and Cooling

When is it time to get my car AC recharged or repaired?

When the air is no longer cold, but a recharge alone is rarely the answer. A/C is a sealed system, so low refrigerant means a leak. Find and fix the leak first, then recharge, or you will pay for the same refrigerant again.

Signs the system needs attention

  • Air is cool instead of cold, or warm in traffic
  • Cold for a few minutes, then warm
  • The compressor clicks on and off often
  • Oily residue around A/C lines or fittings
  • A hissing noise when the A/C runs

Recharge versus repair

A recharge refills refrigerant. If the system leaked, the new charge leaks out too, sometimes within weeks. YBE checks pressures and finds the leak or failed part, then recharges once it is fixed.
