In brief

ChrisFix walks through the process, emphasizing safety and proper handling of the refrigerant can. Best for DIYers comfortable with basic car maintenance.

Questions & answers

What refrigerant kit does ChrisFix recommend?

ChrisFix uses a refrigerant kit with a sealer called A/C Pro, which includes a conditioner to protect the AC system.

Why shouldn’t I place the refrigerant can on a hot engine?

The pressurized can may explode from heat, causing injury or vehicle damage.

I show you a quick and cheap way to get cold air if you have a slow leak in your AC system by recharging your AC system with refrigerant. I chose this refrigerant because the sealer in this product is a conditioner so it wont damage the ac system or the ac recovery machines mechanics use.
