20 Best Freon For Car Ac (2023 Updated)

I bought a Jeep. We all know the saying. Anyway the AC was not working so I thought I’d at least try and do the gas myself. At first when I was putting in the gas it was showing 2 different pressures which I worked out was the compressor coming off and on due to the system being completely depleted.

After a few minutes a stable pressure appeared and I was able to safely add gas to the system up to 35 PSI from one can. It’s been a few weeks and the airconditioning still works a treat. You also get $10 back when you return the can so that was a bonus! The AutoZone people were also really helpful and provided good tips.

Read, read and re-read instructions. walk yourself through the process. prior to actually doing it. You can also watch a Utube video on how to do it. Use the actual ACpro video not the folks that are doing it for the first time.

Why? Because you can quickly screw this up and cause more damage than and exspensive Repairs. The key is to completely understand that a good reading of how your ac is working. comes when your ac is actually running.

Ensure that the compressor is actually running so you can accurately see that the reading is not in the green area prior to adding ac pro. Tip. If you followed all the instructions to the letter, have the ac pro connector installed properly, ac compressor turning / the ac in your car is on max and you are getting a reading showing in the green.

do not add Ac pro!!! Again do not add ac pro. You will end up overfilling and your compressor will seize up. If it’s reading in the green. What to do? Take in to a trusted ac shop, most likely there is moisture in the system, which they will completely drain the ac and reinstall new refrigerant.

Not: your ac is working properly it’s just not cooling cold enough due to referent having moisture. Which need to be replaced. This usually runs less than $100 at most places. If you add ac pro. you will end up overfilling and cause lots of issues costing in the $100s.

If it show out side the green , follow instructions and you will be good to go. Keep in mind most ac loose coolant due to leaks. ac pro is a good product and will work well, stop minor leaks. But if you have to keep filling with ac pro every season, you might save your money and just go get it looked at by a professional.

Usually you can find a reasonable ac professional via shopping around, asking friends or even places like Walmart’s that have a service center have ac service specials. Good luck.

Love this product. Used to have to run AC on level 3 to get sorta cold. Now in the FL afternoon heat only requires level one. Excellent product and it fit the nozzle already in my possession! AC is the only product I use for my 22 year old Pontiac Firebird!.

I’m impressed. Product has a leak free quick connector, accurate analog gauge and enough refrigerant to service all of the family cars. The system was down in the mid 20 psi range blowing cool air but after spending 4 or 5 minutes recharging, the a/c blows new car cold with 32 psi.

Solidly in the “green” band. I have used the old school can and tap assemblies before, but this settup is much more easy and convenient. The instructions were fairly complete, but it was not obvious from reading them that the entire cap assembly had to first be (unscrewed) and removed before removing the plastic shipping ring so the cap could be reattached to seat the cap to the cannister.

My ac was blowing so hot. I made an ac appt for a week ahead,they were booked. Being hot and had a 2 hour drive I went to auto zone. The counter person said This one came with instructions and gauges which is essential to not overfill.

as a first timeR to putting in this Freon and being very over heated myself I tried it. I installed it right there before I left with no tools but this particular product. Works amazing. I even have some to my neighbor of me now being a professional Freon installer helped him drive with a working a/c.

It’s been 2 weeks and we both have a cool drive!.

My Explorer was running hot with the a/c. Purchased this product to avoid the mechanic. It’s simple enough to use and there’s a ton of YouTube videos. But it didn’t work. Two days after charging – it was running hot again and took it to the mechanic.

2. 5lbs of Freon later – a/c is ice cold. Tried to call customer service and she was accusing me of doing it wrong, that there was a major leak and/or issue with my compressor and that my mechanic was a crook.

Yeah – NOPE! I trust a mechanic I’ve been using for years vs this woman who was clearly reading for a pre written script. AVOID THIS PRODUCT!.

Didn’t use it because I was unaware that the vehicle that I was going to use it on, took a newer 1234YF freon, not R-134A. Be sure to check your under hood label. From my limited knowledge, I read that it is technically illegal to charge a 1234YF vehicle A/C with R-134A.

My car was a 2017 Honda Civic EX. So check to be sure.

My AC began cooling my car immediately after refilling with this refrigerant. This is my 2nd time using this product. I will continue to do so, as needed. I’m very satisfied.

It’s your basic R-134a refrigerant – pure. No added gunk (stop leaks / dyes etc) Used it in my mini-fridge compressor swap. Runs fantastic!

First of all the price here is the best in the market. At least I looked online across several retailers. 20 oz is plenty for 1-2 refills. Ensure you check what refrigerant type your car is using before you buy this.

I read that R-134a is used since 1995. I have used this self do set for the first time. Overall good experience. It took 7-10 min. Just follow instructions. Also the gauge is low pressure only. So try to get to early green area, not more because you have high chance to overfill.

High pressure in the a/c system can do some damage. I got to 30 psi. I actually checked my pressure with dual gouge at my next mechanic visit and it shows 25 psi what is ok and night pressure was ok as well.

The air is cold again and time will show if my a/c holds the pressure. The good thing is that this set have reusable basic gauge so you can check any time your low pressure what again is directional but good enough for self service.

The possibility of a faulty gauge makes this completely not worth using. I watched multiple videos, including one using my exact car. I followed the instructions thoroughly, from letting my car reach operating temperatures to making sure my a/c was fully on, and my system wound up overcharged.

The gauge didn’t say it, but the noise my compressor made sure did. It was screaming at the top of its lungs. The return center gave me hard time, which I kind of understand. They don’t want people using a product and returning the leftovers.

In my case, it potentially almost ruined my car. I sure hope I didn’t hurt the compressor, I never want to hear it roar like that ever again.

This works exactly as it should. I drive a 2008 Honda Civic lx with 293000 miles and had no cool air. After putting in ac pro, I have a comfortable ride on my long commute.

This refrigerant has a fluorescent color to assist finding leaks. Perhaps it would have been useful if my leak had been larger, but I couldn’t find the leak. The recharge lasted a summer, but was expensive if not used to find a leak.

It came with a good valve with a pressure gauge and shutoff valve.

Fixed a leak in my AC that is now blowing a cool 48 degrees regardless of the outside temperature. The clip temperature gauges are a little goofy, but I actually like them

Needed a recharge after compressor replacement. Saw 37 degree air coming out of the vents at idle in the garage with 100 degree ambient air temp on a 37 year old RX7. So , yes! It works!

I always use this A/C Freon for my Vehicle, as it delivers ice-cold air. The price is reasonable, and it’s easy to install. The can says, Arctic Freeze, and that is what you get.

I have purchased this item many time before when recharging an auto a/c unit. It cools faster and better than regular 134a. Most of the time after using Arctic Freeze the air coming out of the vents is around 40 degrees and that is on a 100-degree day.

I live in Texas and we get some hot summers.

The air conditioning charge on my wife’s car was very low, so I got this can of 134a to recharge it. It only took the one can to bring the system back up to the correct pressure and vent air temperature.

Be advised that these new cans have the new EPA approved valves. The previous puncture style hoses won’t work. AutoZone does sell an adapter that will allow you to use your old hose with these cans. Also, this particular product is refrigerant only.

It is not for lubricating the system and does not contain stop-leak. If you need lubricant or stop-leak, there are other products/combinations that AutoZone sells. Pay attention to the labels/produce description so you get what you want.

My vehicle is 2006 (July 2021 as I write this). Never had the A/C looked at as no issue until last year. Became noticeable this summer. Suspected low freon. Purchased manifold gauge set. Sure ’nuff, low side pressure was low.

Then reading countless “advice” online that scared me away from anything that was not pure r134a I found this. Apparently, those leak fixers can clog important orifices. Incrementally added this product and made my A/C super frigid in 90 degree sunny weather.

Be sure to understand ambient temp and correct low-side pressure. Be sure to hold can upside down as well as periodically rotate. I found you have to do it in intervals as the connections frost up presumably inhibiting refrigerant flow.

The shut off valve didn’t work with my screw on shut off valve. Granted my tool is made to pierce the can not work an automatic shut off valve. Make sure you have the correct adapter when using this.

I had to use a clamp style can tap. Other than that it was great. A/C blows cold again. My issue is more user error and not having the correct adapter than a problem with the product.

Make sure you read the reviews before buying from grab deals. Now unbeatable sales is their name. I got 1 can instead of 12. Paid 26. 00. Got reimbursed for 16. 00 and left with just one can. Wow did I pay for their mistake! Does not respond, only lies.

Read the reviews! More then 35% is negative. What a mistake I made.

Product worked as intended and improved my A/C quality and temperature. Item is a little pricey for what you get but was readily available and could save money from more expensive service options. The instructions on the bottle are written very small and in a font/color that is difficult to read.

Search of online information about this and similar products provided additional instructions that improved use, efficiency, and ensuring that you don’t over-charge the system. Instructions should also suggest saving the safety collar for replacement after any partial use (which I did on my own) to protect the trigger from future unintentional discharge.

Bought this same item at Harbor Freight for $5 more than the Walmart price and the product fixed my A/C problems. I bought these cans for spares in case the A/C needed further charging. The product is easy to use as long as you buy the complete kit which includes the hose,gauge and instructions.

While a bit on the pricy side, this refrigerant is easy to use, and leaves you with functional gauge so you can check other vehicles. The instructions are pretty complete, and easy to follow. While my system indicated it had a sufficient charge – I chose to add refrigerant.

The system was on its original charge, at almost 8 years, and the car would be soon traveling into the desert’s triple digit temperatures. I was able to add a full can, and the gauge indicated I still hadn’t over-charged the system.

BEST REFRIGERANT 22, USE IN BIG OTR (OVER THE ROAD) TRUCKS, NOT ALL Synthetic, Small % TOO SEAL!!!, OLD SCHOOL PRODUCT, somethings JUST NEED TO BE LEFT ALONE!!! Used in p/u Now GONE, Now Used in Suburban, QUICK, EASY, Functional, EFFECT, COLD!!! BURR!!! YOU GO BIG !! RETAILER Rep TRIED! to tell and TOLD h, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME, HAD BITE my Tongue, just Paid, left, Needed a little more, 2nd Bottle, GO TOO GO!! THANKS PLS DO NOT ADD or make Synthetic 100%.

MUCH THANKS OF YOUR GREAT PRODUCT!!!.

Poorly designed AC recharge kit. It’s hose is to short to be of use. The supplied fitting that connects to the bottle of refrigerant. Is easy to cross thread. Results are leaking of refrigerant to atmosphere instead of into AC system.

I purchased this refrigerant to find out why my system wqs completely empty after one day. The evaporator core had just been replaced and I wanted to see where I made a mistake. The dye in this product was so good I found it in minutes and was sad it had to be taken out because it really ran cool in my system.

Used only most of one can so far. System now cooling fine. Manufacturing quality seems fine. Every new can weighs 15.3 – 15.4 oz. total. Took 1 extra day to arrive. Pleased with purchase.

First time buying this brand/product. Didn’t know if it was cold but it’s cold. Used it on my Subaru and it get it’s cold. Bottle looks cheap but don’t let the cover fool you.

So my new van came with no cold air so I knew I had to put it even though I don’t really use it that much so it won’t burn gas since it’s a ford E250 since gas price went up crazy since we live in a bad times!! And now these are super expensive items but it gets the job right the reson I give it a 3 because of the price since it’s gone to high it’s just not fair.

I traveled 2500+ miles across the United States and this kept me cool and happy the whole way. It worked right from the moment it entered my vehicle. Great stuff!!!

Had to return this product. The connection to the bottle and to my vehicle were both leaking. Neither ends could be secured properly.
