If you suspect a leak the remaining refrigerant should be recovered and the system should pressurized with dry nitrogen and a bubble solution made for system leak detection.

In the shop, we'd recharge it with R-134a to the manufacturer's specified fill level. Then we'd do a system performance test with the manifold gauge set to determine if there is a deficiency, and to narrow down where it may be. From that point, we'd go over potential trouble spots with a halogen leak detector, including going inside the AC vent next to the passenger side door in order to test the evaporator. There are places in an AC unit and with certain vehicles where the visible bubble test isn't feasible, as you can't see those areas very easily. I would strongly discourage the dry nitrogen test. It doesn't generate the same system pressure as R-134a refrigerant would, and it doesn't carry the compressor oil the same way R-134a does, which could potentially lead to lubrication problems with your compressor.

How often should I put freon in my car ac?

Freon (or any refrigerant) only needs to be replaced if it is low. You can have the refrigerant checked at most auto repair shops and they can tell you if it's low. If it is, they should also check for leaks as it is a closed system and does not normally lose refrigerant.

Never, unless you suspect of not cooling then there is a leak somewhere. A repair will need to be performed before recharging.

Double check with your local auto store, but it should be R134-A. I just did my charged my 98 Contour, and used R134-A.


What should gauges on fully charged central ac unit read?

One would need to know what refrigerant is being used along with the indoor and outdoor temps at the time the pressures are checked to give you an answer. The pressure readings only give you part of the story. Suction superheat and liquid subcooling give you more info to help you rate the performance as well.

What should you do to unfreeze a central ac unit?

You simply turn the heat/cool selector lever to the off position and turn the fan switch to on. This will thaw out the indoor and outdoor coils. You are low on refrigerant, have a dirty filter, or the fan is not working properly. You should have this system checked.
