If you drive a newer car, there’s a good chance it uses R-1234yf refrigerant in the air conditioning system. This newer, more environmentally friendly refrigerant is quickly replacing the older R-134a in many makes and models. But to service these systems properly and safely, a shop needs specialized tools—specifically, an R-1234yf AC machine.

At Joe’s Slinger Service, we’ve invested in the right equipment to handle both R-1234yf and R-134a AC systems. Here’s what makes an R-1234yf AC machine different:

What Does an R-1234yf Machine Do?

  • Recovers refrigerant from your system safely

  • Recycles and filters the refrigerant for reuse

  • Evacuates moisture and air using vacuum technology

  • Recharges the AC with the exact amount of R-1234yf and the proper oil

Because R-1234yf is mildly flammable, this machine is built to meet strict SAE and EPA safety standards. Using the wrong machine—or the wrong refrigerant—can damage your system and even void your warranty.

Why It Matters –

Many vehicles built after 2018 require R-1234yf service. Whether you’re dealing with warm air blowing from your vents or just want to keep your AC system working efficiently, it’s important to trust a shop with the right certifications and tools.

Joe’s Slinger Service is your local go-to for air conditioning service in Washington County WI and surrounding areas, including R-1234yf refrigerant recharge, leak checks, and full AC diagnostics.
