Keeping the climate control system efficient not only ensures physical comfort but also saves money, as using the air conditioning increases fuel consumption at the same speed due to the energy required to operate the compressor, especially if the system is not functioning properly.

Therefore, it is necessary to evacuate the system using a vacuum pump to completely eliminate the presence of air and, most importantly, moisture inside the line.

After opening the valve on the fitting, you can then insert the refrigerant and tighten the line once you hear it coming out.
