If you ask commercial or industrial AC technicians they usually says that, no you don't have to fill up a ac-system. It's either full or you have a leak. Automotive AC technicians however will explain the difference between a AC system I a car (that's experiencing years of vibrations affecting joints and seals, on and off and rough climate) and a perfectly seald system in a kitchen or an industry. After 20 years the ac system on my 850 had lost 60% refrigerant even though it was considered "gas tight" and ok. My ac was vacuumed and filled four years ago and is still working perfectly.
