Can a R12 air conditioner be converted to a R134a?

Do you need to recharge the AC on a 1994 Jeep?
Periodically, you will need to recharge a 1994 Jeep’s air conditioner. The system runs on R134a freon, and once the R134a level becomes depleted, the system will not generate cold air. The Jeep’s air conditioner will be otherwise functional, and there may not even be any major leaks. Adding new freon is not a complex task.
Can You retrofit a car to use R-134a refrigerant?
There is NO reason to retrofit a vehicle to R-134a as long as the R-12 system is cooling properly and contains a normal charge of refrigerant. A/C systems designed to use R-12 will cool best when charged with R-12 refrigerant. Even if the system leaks, repairing the leaks and recharging it with R-12 is usually the best repair alternative.
How much does it cost to replace R134a Freon?
The rule of thumb is that the replacement R134A Freon is about 80% of the R-12 charge. If you charge the same amount as originally installed the system will not function properly. Next you’ll want to run an AC performance test on your new retrofitted air conditioning system.
