Re-gassing involves removing old refrigerant and refilling the system to restore cooling efficiency.
Signs include weak airflow, warm air, hissing noises, or oil stains around A/C components.
Yes, but it may be uncomfortable, and ignoring issues could lead to more serious problems over time.
R1234yf is a newer, more eco-friendly refrigerant used in modern vehicles, while R134a is common in older models.
A standard re-gas usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the vehicle.
