This issue, we're looking at what technicians look for when buying A/C tools and equipment. These pages include quotes from technicians about their research and purchases, and a selection of products.
“I want a recharge machine that can
put in exactly what the car calls for; if you put too much freon in a car, it won’t work, and you can actually blow up the compressor
if there’s too much pressure.”
“If I buy a recycle/recharge machine,
I want to know my distributor carries the replacement filters, so all I have to do
is call him up when I need to service
my machine.”
“It’s very important
that I use a refrigerant identifier with every charging station because it’s my equipment, and I don’t want it damaged from
the wrong contaminants
coming in.”
