Refrigerant Recharge
A refrigerant recharge restores your system's cooling capacity to spec — and is almost always paired with a leak repair, since a healthy system doesn't lose refrigerant on its own.
Signs you need this repair
If you're seeing any of these, it's a strong indicator this is the fix your system needs.
How it's fixed
What a technician actually does during a refrigerant recharge visit.
Measure current pressure
The technician connects gauges to measure your system's current refrigerant pressure against manufacturer specifications.
Calculate the correct charge
The exact amount of refrigerant needed is calculated based on your system's specs and the current outdoor temperature.
Add refrigerant to target
Refrigerant is added gradually to the precise target pressure — overcharging is just as harmful to a system as undercharging.
Verify performance
The technician confirms supply air temperature and system pressures are back within normal range before finishing.
Why this is common in Las Vegas
Since a properly sealed AC system should never lose refrigerant under normal operation, a recharge on its own without checking for a leak first often just means paying for the same fix again a few months later. We always check for an active leak before recharging, so you're not paying twice.
Common questions
Do I need a leak repair before a recharge?
If your system is low on refrigerant, it almost always means there's a leak somewhere. Your technician will check for one first — recharging without fixing an active leak just delays the same problem.
How often should a system need a recharge?
A properly functioning system shouldn't need recharging at all under normal conditions. Needing one is itself a sign something else should be checked.
Is more refrigerant always better for cooling performance?
No — overcharging a system can be just as damaging as undercharging. The correct amount is calculated precisely, not just added until it 'feels' colder.
