How much does it cost to refill your air conditioning unit?

The cost of refilling your car's AC unit depends on several factors; the type of gas used, the make and model of your car, and if any leaks or issues need to be fixed.

Can you refill an AC unit yourself?

No, as you could potentially overcharge the system and cause significant damage to your vehicle. Refilling your air conditioner is a complex task that should be carried out by a mechanic, particularly as you'll need to work with potentially dangerous chemicals, too.

Is it worth replacing the AC in your car?

Generally speaking, your car's AC system can last for up to 15 years. If your unit smells musty, isn't getting cold or is making a hissing sound, it may need to be refilled rather than replaced.
