AC needs to be recharged when the voltage is below 12V.
There are a few ways to test if your AC is low on freon. One way is to check the breaker box for smoke or heat coming from it. If this happens, the AC is not working properly and needs to be replaced. Another way to test if your AC is low on freon is to use a voltmeter and measure the voltage at the outlet. If the voltage is below a certain level, then your AC is low on freon.
Most car AC needs to be recharged every 3-6 months.
Yes, a car can lose freon without a leak.
Yes, you can recharge your car AC by using an electrical outlet and a compatible cord.
