- My understanding (as related to me by someone who repairs AC units for a
- living) is that home AC units should NEVER need recharging. If your AC
- just doesn't appear to be doing the job, make sure that all the dust and
- dirt is vacuumed out of it. If it's still not doing the job, you need a
- bigger air conditioner. If for some reason your home AC has developed a
- genuine leak, then it's definitely a job for the pros to take care of
- it.
-
- As for car AC, yes these need to be recharged. For some reason, they
- tend to leak like crazy. You can do it yourself if you are careful. Be
- sure to get a good do-it-yourself manual for your car before attempting
- this - if you attach the hose to the wrong side, you could be in for a
- nasty surprise.
