My AC has been blowing out hot air. I got my inspection sticker this month and asked the mechanic at the shop; how much they would charge to fix my AC?...dude said $250...I said I would call my husband to make sure, my husband said, "hell no!!". We saw this video, hubby fixed 3 cars within 15 min! Mine, his, and his coworker that was helping him with some renovations that was at our house...he had also gone to a mechanic and they were asking for $220! You saved us so much time and money! You're the best! Especially with these hot days, my kids are thankful for it too! 💖

Great job with the video, short & simple for anyone to follow along! I got a question; I’ve read that the air within the hose that comes along with refrigerant can contains oxygen and water vapor that can damage the ac system. With professional installations where a vacuum pump is used to drain the system of any moisture this concern is non existent. Can you maybe explain whether that little air present within the hose is capable of causing damage and maybe provide an update on the car featured in this video? Thank you in advance and sorry about the excessively long question lol.

No worries about that tiny bit of air in the hose. This car's AC still works great. Have done this same process with no negative effects on many cars. Just be sure not to overfill as I mentioned and youll be fine. I also have a video on vacuuming system before. That way you can add back exact amount for car. Just use a scale 👍 Vacuuming video- kzread.info/dash/bejne/mp-evLB9qdvcl9I.html Vacuuming with AC stop leak & refill refrigerant- kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKyW0LedZpefddY.html

Sometimes that can be dangerous. I have a rule. Phone's off if I have my hands or body in something that can badly hurt me if I get distracted. I was doing light globes yesterday to change the bulb. Once I was up near the 9.7 foot ceiling, the building better be on fire til I'm done. Same with anything electricity, like car batteries. They can blow up if you're an idiot. So BE PREPARED. Have a fire extinguisher, a gallon or two of potable water, fire/wool blanket...you name it. Take your time and DON'T get distracted! If you're WAY ready for ANY emergency (say if the can blows up or something, you're READY). The more safety stuff you're ready with, the less likely you'll ever use any of it. This is why I have at LEAST TWO tire gages and phone chargers PER CAR. One + a spare!

If you used a full can and still somewhat warm, the system may have been really low. If system was completely empty you would need to vacuum out air, but if a little in it may just be low still. Should be sticker on inside of hood that'll tell you the ounces of refrigerant used for car, usually around 2 lbs (32oz) or less

If your AC is now working worse you most likely overfilled, dont run AC anymore until you release some of the pressure. You should have it evacuated and recaptured into a tank by a professional but there is another way to evacuate some by pressing on the valve on low side port

Mine is a 96 Corolla actually 🤣
Love your videos, thanks so much! I’m blessed with a 2003 Toyota Corolla (original owner, always been garaged) that's NEVER needed any repairs (110,000 miles), but surely the A-C will start to get "tired." While many components can fail, I'm guessing it's common for a pinhole leak to occur, in which case simply re-filling the system as you demonstrate does not fix the problem, only band-aid it. And sure, "Judgment Day" is no doubt coming for my mighty Corolla's A-C system down here in South Georgia. So, can you provide a link to any "leak remedy" product that you recommend (this would be after, of course, checking for any connections that worked themselves loose, then tightening them)? Same question for any "system rejuvenation" products (I've been told that internal seals dry out, things get gunked up, etc., so if there's something relatively cheap that owners can do to rejuvenate their system before surrendering to a mechanic, I'm all in!). I'm hoping that there's a refill product containing leak-plugging stuff in it (but maybe I'm just wildly fantasizing). I could swear I've heard of someone remedying their failed A-C system this way. Thanks again!

You're welcome. Yes when a car gets older it usually starts slowly leaking out refrigerant from either worn O rings on all the various connections or from compressor itself. You can try adding some AC stop leak refrigerant when recharging if you have a very slow leak.

No only on low side port do you refill. Keep searching. Check car manual or diagram online

If you don’t have a thermometer to use, do you just stop when it hits the green? i’m worried to overfill it, thanks for the help!

Yes that'll work, as soon as it reaches green and is blowing cold. It can take a lot of gas in the green. So as soon as in green and cold is good 👍
Thank you for your video. When I finished I noticed quite a bit if water under my car. Would this be considered normal ? Also oddly enough the gauge would stay on the sand spot without rising

You're welcome. Did the air temperature get colder from vents? Yes A/C produces condensation so that's normal. It drains under car 👍

Follow directions on the can! This doesn't show/tell that the vehicle should be in the shade, with all doors open and the vehicle started before beginning recharge. These are directions right on the can.
When I see a video like this I give a like right away just right to the point don’t mess around..

One mistake You didn’t purge the house to get air out of the hose. That air in the hose has moisture so you put all that air into yr system. You barely squeeze the trigger until a little refrigerant is coming out then you connect it to the fitting

Soooo... if the system is low, there is a leak. It will just leak out again. This is a wasteful temporary bandaid.

In this instance the leak took 11 years to leak out maybe 1/3 total refrigerant. Sometimes its a slow leak, if a large leak, yes thats a waste

All systems leak A LITTLE. The gasket that seals the compressor relies on fluid lubricating it to complete the seal. A properly functioning AC can lose around 2 oz per year. Once the car is about 10 or 11 years old, the fluid will be noticeably low even without a "true" leak.

Hello - read that hose has air with moisture inside so just connecting for basic charging and just pushing trigger one is injecting both r134a and air/moisture in ac system with moisture bad for system. Why not trigger can slightly as first pushing connector down onto port so some of air/moisture is removed first from hose?
