The recharge process removes any old refrigerant gas and oil from your air con system before replacing  with the correct amount of new refrigerant and lubricant as per your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation.

A vacuum test is also performed to ensure there are no cracks or damage in your vehicle air conditioning system that could cause the gas to leak out.

Within an hour the whole recharge process is completed and you will once again have refreshing cool air on demand.

Manufacturers recommend your air con is recharged every 2 years.

As your air conditioner is not checked as part of your MOT test and regassing is not included in your Service, it is important to make sure that you include recharging as part of your regular vehicle maintenance.

Cars which do not have the air conditioning recharged regularly can often be less effective and have to work harder to produce cool air. This puts more strain on the engine and uses more fuel. If your air conditioning system has not been recharged in the past two years it will dramatically reduce efficiency.

We can only recharge air con systems with the R134A gas. Please check your vehicle for which gas you have, alternative we can check this for you if you ask when booking.
