Car Air Conditioning

A car air conditioning re-gas and service is a comprehensive procedure designed to ensure your vehicle’s AC system operates efficiently and effectively. Here’s what it typically involves:

Initial Inspection

A technician will inspect your vehicle’s AC system to assess its current condition. They will check for any visible leaks, unusual noises, or other signs of malfunction.

Refrigerant Evacuation

The technician will evacuate the old refrigerant from the system using our top of the range specialised equipment. This ensures that only clean and properly measured refrigerant is used during the re-gas process.

System Vacuum

The AC system is then vacuumed to remove any air and moisture. Air and moisture can compromise the efficiency of the system and lead to corrosion or other damage.

Recharging

Once the system is properly evacuated and vacuumed, the technician will recharge it with the correct amount of refrigerant according to the manufacturer’s specifications. For vehicles with older systems, R134a refrigerant is typically used, while newer vehicles may require the R1234yf variant.

Performance Testing

After recharging, we will conduct performance tests to ensure that the AC system is operating at optimal levels. This will include checking the temperature output, airflow, and overall cooling performance.

Leak Detection

Throughout the process, the technician will continuously monitor for any signs of leaks in the AC system visually and by monitoring the pressure whilst the re-gas is being carried out.

Overall, a car air conditioning re-gas and service aims to restore your vehicle’s AC system to peak performance, providing you with reliable cooling during hot weather conditions.

Some manufacturers suggest every 2 years for system checks and re-gas or as soon as efficiency as dropped.
