Stay Cool. Get Your Freon Recharged At Hyde's Automotive
Your truck or car's AC system is almost completely airtight but your freon refrigerant is always slowly leaking out. Eventually a car will lose enough freon so that its air conditioning system will no longer cool effectively. At Hyde's Automotive we are ready to recharge your AC to help you keep your car or truck's cabin temperature cool.
"Help My AC Only Blows Warm Air!"
New advancements in R134a freon systems means that freon in newer cars doesn't leak out as much as old R12 freon systems. The average new model economy car only leaks about 0.41 ounces of refrigerant per year. Come to any Hyde's Automotive location in the Chattanooga area when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
"Is Used Freon Ok?"
Many auto repair shops resell used AC refrigerant. The old freon is cleaned using a specialized recovery machine that removes contaminants. Used freon provided by Hyde's Automotive works just as well as new freon after it's cleaned. Accepting used freon is a great way to help minimize the impact freon has on the environment.
Freon gas becomes a liquid when pressurized inside your car's A/C system but returns to its gaseous state as it leaks out. Many drivers in the Chattanooga area are completely unaware that they are losing freon until the day when they turn on the car's AC and find only warm air blows out. Call Hyde's Automotive and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.
"Need 1234YF Freon?"
When it is the hottest day of the summer in the Chattanooga area, Hyde's Automotive wants you to stay cool. Watch for early symptoms in your car or truck of an air conditioning system failure. Catching an issue early can save you time and money. If your AC system is charged with 1234YF freon and it creates an unusual amount of noise while running, produces an abnormal odor or blows warm air instead of cool air, then you need Hyde's Automotive to help you with a recharge.
In 2021, the EPA required all new vehicles manufactured in the United States to replace 134a freon with 1234YF freon because the new 1234YF is better for the environment. The highly trained technicians at Hyde's Automotive are on top of this new trend. They will evacuate and recharge auto AC systems with the 1234YF freon refrigerant recommended by your manufacturer. During air conditioning system diagnostics, we use advanced leak detection tools to ensure your car is not losing any of its freon.
Hyde's Automotive's Fast 3 Step Process:
- Vacuum out all the old refrigerant before refilling it.
- Add new R134a refrigerant.
- Pressurize your car's AC system and test for micro-leaks.

The difference between current AC refrigerants such as 134a freon and 1234YF freon is significant. 134a freon is a greenhouse gas that is as harmful as carbon dioxide. 1234YF freon ensures that you and your passengers stay cool and comfortable all summer just like 134a freon, but it is not a greenhouse gas making it a better solution for the environment. From cooling issues to low airflow, you can rely on the pro mechanics at Hyde's Automotive for fast and affordable AC repair and maintenance.
At Hyde's Automotive we want to help you and your passengers stay cool. Call us today and schedule an appointment to get your 1234YF AC system recharged.
