You could do it yourself, but the best way is to have a professional do it. First of all, why do you need to have it recharged? If it's low on refrigerant, you have a leak. You need to fix the leak first, or else you'll need to recharge it again soon.
Second of all, unless the system is completely empty, you don't know exactly how much refrigerant is still in the system. Therefore, there's no way to know exactly how much refrigerant to add back in. A shop would take the remaining refrigerant out to start fresh, then add the proper amount.
Third of all, pretty much all of those recharge kits have some kind of stop-leak and/or conditioner and/or some gimmicky "booster" that supposedly cools better. All of that is junk and can cause problems. I would just use pure refrigerant without any of that. The recharge kits also have only a cheap, inaccurate low side pressure gauge. You're much better off using a real manifold gauge set with accurate low AND high side gauges, and you can connect it to a can of real, pure refrigerant.
