Air conditioning recharge and maintenance includes: removal of old refrigerant, moisture and partially contaminated oil, vacuum hold for 20 minutes, moisture removal, and adding the correct amount of refrigerant, dye, and manufacturer-specified oil.
High-quality air conditioning service means that:
- Work is performed by a certified technician using modern, automatic, high-quality equipment.
- The recharge price includes up to 800g of R134 refrigerant – sufficient for most modern passenger cars.
- The price also includes high-quality PAG oil, which is added into the system from a sealed container in the exact required amount. PAG oil is used by most modern car manufacturers (except hybrid and electric vehicles), so it is crucial that the correct oil is always used. Since PAG oil absorbs moisture, it must be added in a way that prevents contact with air. The biggest enemy of an A/C system is moisture inside the pipes, which can freeze at critical points. Many competitors use universal oils that do not absorb moisture, but compressor and car manufacturers require PAG oil.
- The price also includes a high-quality UV dye concentrate. When the dye is in the system, leaks can later be detected using a UV lamp.
- The vacuum holding time is at least 20 minutes. This is important because in a vacuum, water begins to boil at around 20°C, meaning moisture inside the system evaporates and is extracted. The vacuum also checks system tightness, although it does not detect very small leaks. Smaller leaks can only be detected using dye.
- After the recharge and/or maintenance, the system is tested and further recommendations are provided.
Generally, a passenger car’s air conditioning or climate system requires maintenance/recharge every two years, as normal refrigerant loss is considered to be up to 10% per year. Long-term operation with insufficient refrigerant puts strain on the system and may lead to failure.
Many customers ask how moisture gets into a closed system. When the system has the correct amount of refrigerant, it is under constant pressure and moisture cannot easily enter. However, as refrigerant decreases, pressure on the low-pressure side drops during compressor operation, eventually creating a vacuum. In simple terms, if your car is blowing cool rather than cold air, part of the system and the low-pressure valve are likely already under vacuum. The valve is where moisture most commonly enters the system, as it operates in only one direction.
