Is your car's AC leaking? California program pays 90% of repair cost
Briefly

The Cool Air Rebate Program offers financial assistance to qualifying low-income Californians with car A/C coolant leaks in vehicles made between 1993 and 2019. Eligible residents include those receiving government assistance, and repair costs are discounted by 90%. The aim is to combat extreme heat impact on low-income families and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from leaking R-134a refrigerant. Repair shops test vehicles for leaks for free, and at least 228 shops are part of the program.
The program offers a discount that amounts to 90% of the overall repair costs, providing low-income Californian families the means to repair their car A/C and combat extreme heat.
Residents must meet household income requirements, qualifying automatically if they are recipients of Medi-Cal, CalFresh, CalWorks, or California Healthy Families.
The primary goal of this program is to directly reduce the amount of air pollution caused by the release of R-134a refrigerant in our atmosphere.
If the car is leaking R-134a refrigerant, it qualifies for the program, which targets vehicles made between 1993 and 2019.
