How To Recharge Car's Air Conditioning In 15 Minutes

The air conditioning system in the car is crucial to keep you relaxed, cool, and comfortable while you're driving. The air conditioning system's refrigerant, however, may leak with time, making it less efficient. Your car's air conditioner might need to be recharged if it's emitting warm air. Though charging the air conditioning system in the car may seem like difficult work, it is rather easy and only takes around 15 minutes to do this.

Easy Steps On How To Recharge Your Car's Air Conditioning System: 

1. First, you will need a car air conditioning recharge kit. This kit will include a can of refrigerant, a pressure gauge, and a hose (a flexible hollow tube used for transporting fluids from one place to another). Other than these you can have safety glasses, gloves, and a piece of rag. 

2. Now find the low-pressure port. This is the port where you will attach the hose from the recharge kit. The low-pressure port is usually located on the evaporator core, which is located under the hood of your car.

3. Attach the hose from the recharge kit to the low-pressure port. Also, make sure there are no leaks and that the hose is properly secured.

4. Turn on the air conditioning and start the engine. Set the fan to the highest setting and the air conditioner to its highest level.
