A/C Recharge

An A/C recharge restores the specified refrigerant charge when that service is appropriate. Refrigerant type and quantity depend on the vehicle, and weak cooling can also involve airflow, controls or a compressor fault.

NOFO reviews the symptoms before recommending recharge or diagnostic work. If refrigerant has escaped, the source matters: adding refrigerant alone does not repair a leaking component. Mention previous recharges and any products added to the system when requesting service.

Signs that bring vehicles in

• Air that is cool but no longer cold
• The compressor cycles on and off rapidly
• Cooling improved after a recharge, then faded again
• Oily residue around fittings or lines

What the visit involves

• Review of cooling performance and previous refrigerant service
• Confirmation of the vehicle’s refrigerant requirements and suitable service scope
• Discussion of leak findings or other faults that need separate repair

Diagnosis before authorization

A request does not guarantee a specific diagnosis, price or completion time. The shop confirms the appointment, explains findings and obtains authorization before repair work moves forward.
