Recharge your AC system properly. I go though all of the steps on how to safely charge your air conditioning system with refrigerant. First you need to evacuate the system, then pull a vacuum, and then add the correct amount of refrigerant based on weight.

Thank you so much.
Thank you Chris! My AC went out recently and I was able to do it my self and save some
Money. It started get warm in my area recently, so I feel relieved now.
Ain’t you supposed to keep the high closed when refilling it ?
How many Freon do u add
hello dear chris its jose L just want said thank you for teach us to learn do mechanic work we realy appreciatte all your clases, christ you are our profesor god bless you for be a very , profesional and give us, the opportunited to learn, chao chao , sincerelity jose L.
Should not start a vehicle with the a/c system under vacuum…technically. It's only a major issue on a couple models.
Those cans should only be used upside down. Slowly. It works in a pinch until you can get it professionally done. But be prepared for an enviro charge as no shop wants to contaminate their machine with the stuff in cans.(amazon and ebay cans are usually just propane for the cheap or sale ones)
I followed the video and tried it on my Honda Civic and it doesn't work. Don't believe that it will work.
Really nice video.
Wow great video. So for $200 to $300 in equipment, I can recharge my AC instead of taking it to a shop that will probablt charge less than 100. Thanks.
Nice job thanks for sharing 🙏
Hey Chris…I just want to confirm. If they a pre oiled compressor…i don't have to put oil in the yellow line right? Thanks for your thoughts!
Dam good job kid. I have watched a few of your video. I thought u was a young kid. But this one 5 yr. Old.
Would this work on a 2008 s63 amg ? Anyone
Wow. Just great videos Chris. Thank you. I recently tried to recharge my Explorer. I pulled the vacuum and followed your directions. The vacuum may have escaped somewhat before I actually started adding refrigerant. After about 8oz going into the system, it would not accept anymore. The compressor was running. It was about 55 degrees outside. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hey Chrisfix I have a question. So I screwed up and used a can of r134a with oil that stops leaks but it says on the can it’s not meant to be used on a hybrid. So I filled my Prius with the wrong one. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks for all you do.
Did you skip the oil – also clearly shown on sticker !? maybe only needed when fully evacuating the system, but should be mentioned…
Thank you Chris.
What about micron decay test? Bet most people don’t know what that is….
If you have an old R12 or R22 system, I would highly recommend looking into converting to R152a, it performs much better than R134a and nearly the same as R12.
Good one !! U Just go a lil bit wrong on the oz but nice job 👍🏼
Sorry, but you can't legally work on refrigeration systems without being EPA certified, so this video is completely pointless and potentially dangerous. People are going to use this partial information to "top off" their refrigeration systems instead of fix leaks.
Who gives you the thumbs down? Stealerships and auto repair shops wow you explain it the best 👊 no reason for even one thumbs down
Thanks for vid
Hey Chris, just want to let you know theres a select amount of youtube content creators that just are just “‘mm”” so good.
Very well made, great information, forward and easy steps for all. You got it bro 😎
