Air Conditioner Recharging

Why Does My A/C Need Recharging?

Your Volkswagen’s A/C unit is a sealed system, so coolant should not be escaping. If your freon is running low, it is likely due to a leak or damage to various components such as a hose. When you take your car to a certified professional in Houston, they not only refill your coolant but also discover where the leak is originating from and repair any associated damage.

Dangers of Low Freon

When your freon is low, your A/C does not produce cold air the way it should or in some cases, may not produce any cold air at all. While having a non-functional A/C is certainly an annoyance, it can also be a danger when driving home from League City. On a hot day without working A/C, your car can become very uncomfortable. This can easily become a distraction, and when driving distracted, even for a second, can easily lead to an accident.

Professional A/C Recharging

When you need a car A/C recharge, it is tempting to do it yourself. Do-it-yourself A/C recharge kits are available at every major automotive parts store. However, there are many reasons to take your Volkswagen to a professional for any A/C recharging needs you may have. The first of these is that if you add too much freon to your Volkswagen’s A/C system, you risk damaging it. The second reason is that if you’re losing freon you have a leak somewhere in your A/C system that needs to be addressed.
