Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through using A/C Pro to recharge your car's air conditioning system. If your vehicle's A/C is blowing hot air due to low refrigerant levels, A/C Pro provides an easy solution. This process is quick and can save you both time and money.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start, ensure you have the following items ready:

  • A/C Pro Professional Formula Refrigerant (20 oz)
  • Safety goggles and gloves for protection
  • A flat surface to work on
  • A funnel (optional, for easier handling)

Step 2: Locate the Low-Pressure Service Port

  • Open the hood of your car and secure it.
  • Identify the A/C system’s low-pressure service port. This is typically located on the larger diameter tubing between the compressor and evaporator.
  • Remove the cap from the low-pressure port and set it aside.

Step 3: Attach the A/C Pro Recharge Hose

  • Take the reusable trigger dispenser that comes with A/C Pro.
  • Attach the 24-inch recharge hose to the low-pressure service port by pushing it onto the port until it clicks into place.
  • Make sure the connection is secure to prevent any leaks.

Step 4: Check the System Pressure

  • Before proceeding, use the built-in low-pressure gauge on the A/C Pro dispenser to check the current refrigerant pressure.
  • If the pressure is below 30 psi, your system needs refrigerant.

Step 5: Recharge the A/C System

  • With the engine running and A/C set to the maximum cool setting, squeeze the trigger on the A/C Pro canister.
  • Release the trigger to allow the system to draw in the refrigerant.
  • Continue this process until the gauge indicates that your A/C system is at the proper pressure (typically between 30-40 psi).

Step 6: Monitor the Temperature

  • After adding the refrigerant, check the air temperature coming from the A/C vents.
  • Ideally, the air should feel cooler and drier. If it's still blowing warm air, you might need to check for leaks or other issues.

Step 7: Finish Up

  • Once satisfied with the temperature, disconnect the recharge hose by pressing the release tab.
  • Replace the cap on the low-pressure service port to keep it clean and protected.
  • Store any leftover refrigerant in a safe place for future use.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily recharge your car's A/C system with A/C Pro. Remember to monitor your vehicle's air conditioning performance regularly to catch any issues early. If you encounter persistent problems, consider consulting a professional mechanic. Enjoy the cool air and drive comfortably!
