Topping up air-con is not the industry standard, although they'll let you believe it is to make money, if you think why are you topping it up? It must have a leak somewhere and topping it up doesn't make sense as your not actually fixing the problem as you'll still have the leak. Re-charging is another misconception on this as why would it need re-charged? Industry will tell you to do it as a money spinner, personally, I'd find out where it's leaking and fix that first, then get it topped up/re-charged as you see fit, I'm only talking if my experience, another way to look at it is.... How often do you refill or re-charge your fridge or freezer? I'll bet you don't do it? It's the same sort of system and gas in them and if they leaked you'd not refill or re-charge them till you found out the problem, why do it with air con units? Much has been written on the Web about the use of air-con units at least once a week regardless if it's needed or not to keep it in working order as the gas settles, yeah I know it's gas, but it's heavier than air and will settle at the bottom of the units, bit like your water cooling system or oil if not used it all falls to the bottom eventually.
