Each manufacturer is specific to change intervals. GM recommends 5 years or 160k on the newer models. However it has been noted that their Dexron coolant is not able to last that long. A safe interval is 2 years or 60,000km whichever comes first.

Although it doesn't specify how often you can use it, since it is flushing out your system and takes a lot of motivation to go through with, I wouldn't suggest doing it very often. After the flush, it is recommended to start a healthy diet to keep some of the weight from coming back on.

If anti-freeze is low will that cause the air conditioner to not cool?

Probably not. The two engine cooling system is not the cabin cooling system. Reduced air conditioning can be caused by clogged cabin filters, these are located behind the glove box of many cars and are easy to replace, often costing around $20 each. There can be 2, perhaps more. Then again, the air con system may be low on refrigerant gas. This gas can leak out over time, or there may be a leak in the system. Should there be a leak in the system and the leak is not repaired when the gas is replentished, then the poor cooling condition will reappear, and the cost of the recharge wasted.
