My A/C is being replaced and I was wondering after they replace it do they have to recharge it also?

Hi,

Anytime the system is opened, the Freon is lost (should be vacuumed). As a result, it needs to be recharged. Here is a link that shows how it's done:

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
