Q: Can I Recharge My A/C at Home with a DIY Kit?

A:
A/C recharge kits might seem like a quick fix, but they often cause more harm than good.

✅ Advantages of DIY A/C Recharge:

• Low upfront cost
  Why: Kits are relatively cheap compared to shop service.
• Immediate cool air
  Why: If the refrigerant was just low, a recharge can temporarily restore function.

❌ Disadvantages:

• Masking bigger problems
  Why: You may have a leak or failing compressor that needs repair, not just refrigerant.
• Risk of overcharging the system
  Why: Too much refrigerant can damage seals and the compressor.
• No leak detection
  Why: DIY kits don’t test for leaks, so the problem comes back.
