RV Refrigerant Recharge in Hobe Sound, FL
R-410A and R-22 system diagnosis, leak detection, refrigerant top-off, and full system recharge with proper pressure testing.
If your RV AC is blowing air but it's not cold, low refrigerant is a likely cause. RV AC systems are sealed, so low refrigerant means there's a leak somewhere. Simply topping off the refrigerant without finding the leak is a temporary fix that wastes money. We find the leak, fix it, then recharge to the manufacturer's specified pressure.

What We Do
We check refrigerant pressure against manufacturer specs, use electronic leak detectors to find the source of refrigerant loss, repair the leak (usually at a service port, coil fitting, or line connection), and recharge the system to the exact pressure specified for your unit. We work with both R-410A (newer systems) and R-22 (older systems).
Signs You Need RV Refrigerant Recharge
The AC blows air that's cool but not cold. The AC used to cool fine but has gradually lost performance. You hear hissing near the AC unit. The evaporator coil frosts up and then the AC stops cooling entirely.
Pricing

RV Refrigerant Recharge FAQ
How much does a refrigerant recharge cost?
$150-$350 including leak detection and repair. The cost depends on the refrigerant type (R-22 is more expensive than R-410A) and the complexity of the leak repair.
How often does RV AC need refrigerant?
Never, if the system is sealed properly. Needing a recharge means there's a leak that should be found and fixed.
Is R-22 still available?
R-22 has been phased out of production, but reclaimed R-22 is still available for existing systems. It's more expensive than R-410A. If your system needs frequent recharges, upgrading to a new R-410A unit may be more economical.
Can I recharge my RV AC myself?
We strongly advise against it. Overcharging damages the compressor, and undercharging reduces efficiency. Professional equipment is needed to measure the exact charge amount.
How do you find refrigerant leaks?
We use electronic leak detectors and UV dye testing. Electronic detectors can sense refrigerant at very low levels, pinpointing the exact location.
Will a recharge fix my AC permanently?
Only if we also fix the leak. Recharging without fixing the leak is like inflating a tire with a nail in it. The refrigerant will leak out again over weeks or months.
