FAQ
Should I run the air conditioning in winter?
Yes, for a few minutes every couple of weeks. The refrigerant carries oil that keeps the compressor seals soft, and a system left idle all winter is the one that leaks in June. Your defroster already uses it to pull water out of the air.
Can any shop do air conditioning work?
No. It takes a recovery and charging machine matched to your refrigerant, leak detection gear, and someone trained to use them. Refrigerant is regulated, so a shop should be recovering it into a machine, never venting it. If the answer on the phone is vague, call the next one.
What should happen before anyone quotes a repair?
A performance test with gauges on both sides of the system, vent temperature measured, and a leak check with dye or a sniffer. That is the work that tells them whether you need a seal, a condenser or a compressor. Expect to pay for it, and ask whether it comes off the repair bill.
