Stay Cool

Understanding a Car AC Recharge

Air conditioning units rely on refrigerants for cooling. This has a finite lifespan, so needs to be recharged—usually on an annual or bi-annual basis. Your Jiffy Lube® AC technician will assess the whole system, evacuate the old gas, and replace it with new.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these common FAQs.

How often should I get an AC recharge?
Between every year to 2 years, or if you notice that your car isn’t cooling as well as it used to.
Do I need to book an appointment for a Jiffy Lube Tampa Bay AC repair or recharge?
No, you don’t. Pop by when it suits. A recharge will be carried out within 30 minutes, and if any repairs are diagnosed, we’ll either fix it on the spot or advise if parts are needed.
How much does AC repair and recharge cost?
A Jiffy Lube® AC recharge is a set cost—the exact price being dependent on the make and model of the vehicle. You’ll be advised before the work is carried out or call for more info. Any repairs will be quoted once the problem is diagnosed.
What’s the difference between a car AC recharge and a car AC repair?
A recharge involves removing the old refrigerant, flushing and checking the system, and then replacing it with new gas. A repair will need to be done if any cracks or leaks are discovered. The cost and complexity of a repair depend on the location of the problem within the system.
What is an AC refrigerant?
It’s a gas made up of various chemicals that has the ability to absorb heat. It’s contained within the closed system of your car’s AC. Without it, the air con can’t remove heat from the air and cool the interior of the car cabin.
What happens if I forget to get the AC in my car recharged?
Without this, the AC will gradually reduce in efficiency. Eventually, it will fail to work altogether, and will just blow warm air around the car.
