Your mention of leaks makes for a good transition to my next set of quesitons:

It would seem to me that the need for a recharge is an indication that the system has a leak. Is this correct?

My research on this subject has revealed that the schrader valves are a common place for a leak -- and since they're cheap/easy to change, then it might be a good idea to change them when you do a recharge. Yes or no? If so, then I would assume you evacuate the system, replace the valves, then re-apply the vacuum, and proceed with the recharge.

Forgive me if all this seems pedestrian. I really do appreciate your help.
