Good to know: Refrigerant doesn't normally get used up. Low refrigerant usually means a leak needs investigation. Recharge estimates do not replace leak diagnosis, and refrigerant work must be performed by appropriately EPA Section 608-certified personnel. A diagnostic fee may be charged separately unless included in your quote.
