It's very easy. each AC line has a valve like a tire-one for high pressure side, one for low, probably with a cap on each. Get a can from an auto parts store it should come with a short hose and possibly a pressure guage. Get the one with the guage and you can save it to check it whenever you need to. Each side will only take about 100#. Just thread onto each valve, invert can and spray in there. Following the lines you should find the valves. Sometimes they are color coded-blue is low. If you hear a leak or lose it afterwards, it will have to be fixed before you can recharge.
There were some R134a units in 1992, but they were not the norm. Most likely, you have an R12 unit, which requires retrofitting in order to be compatible with R134a.
It came with R12 Freon. As R12 is cost prohibitive, have the unit converted to R134a refrigerant or a similar substitute.
It came with R12 (Freon). Look for a sticker on the unit, as it may have been converted. If not convert it to R134a. My advice, is, take it to a professional.
You can find a Freon leak in a home Ac unit by using a leak detector. These instruments are capable of detecting trace amounts of Freon and pinpoint leaks.
No, the 1994 Mercury Sable does not use R12 for recharging the A/C unit. The 1994 Mercury Sable uses R134a Freon.
It is R134a. Ford started the conversion in 1994 but not all Fords were using R134a that year. By 1996 all were using it. Look for a sticker on the A/C unit which lists the correct refrigerant. If you have R12 have it converted to R134a.
It does not contain any Freon (R-12). R134A is the proper refrigerant. My advice to you is to let a professional do the work. By reading the question you are not qualified to charge the unit, because you dont know where to put your gauges on the system.
It's a gas, not a fluid, and it would be R134a.
By buying an AC charge hose and a can or 2 of R134a freon (depending on how much your car needs) Attach hose to the low pressure side & charge system. Do not overcharge, or you may destroy the AC system.
It came from the factory with R12 but I recommend you have it converted to R134a if it has not already been done. There is a label near the A/C unit under the hood listing this information.
It depends on what year the unit was built. Most AC units for your Home used R-22. A new freon 410A is used in the newer systems. There has been a slow switch over from about mid 2005 until now but the EPA has banned AC units from being built with R-22 now so any unit you buy today will have the 410A.
If the air conditioning unit in question has not been retrofitted or changed, it should take R12 Freon. However, if it has been replaced or upgraded, it may take R134A.
