As It Heats Up Outside, Is Your A/C Refrigerant Handling System Ready?

Summer is coming in hot—and so is the demand for vehicle air conditioning service. If your automotive service center handles A/C work, now’s the time to ensure your A/C refrigerant handling system is operating at peak performance.

Why Preventive Maintenance Matters

Your refrigerant handling system does the heavy lifting: recovering, recycling, and recharging refrigerant quickly and safely. But like any essential piece of equipment, it requires regular maintenance, especially before the summer rush.

A neglected system can lead to:

• Slower service times
• Inaccurate refrigerant charging
• Equipment failure or costly downtime
• Non-compliance with EPA guidelines

Signs Your System Needs Servicing

• Longer recovery or recharge times
• Oil or moisture contamination
• Refrigerant leaks or cracked hoses
• Faulty sensor readings or calibration issues
• Frequent system alerts or errors
