What Does an Air Con Regas Include?

An air con regas includes a full removal and refresh of your system’s refrigerant gas. During this process, a technician will:

  • Ensure your car is using the correct refrigerant gas (R134a vs 1234YF)
  • Use specialist equipment to remove the old refrigerant
  • Check for any obvious leaks within the system
  • Refill your car’s air conditioning system with the right refrigerant gas

 

The technician will then test your system after the regas to ensure everything is working properly.

 

Mobile Air Con Regas in Leicester

If you need an air con regas, but don't have time to take your car into a garage, consider booking an appointment with a local mobile mechanic instead. They come and complete the work at a time and place that best suits you. This makes your life as easy as possible.

Here are just a few ways a mobile air con regas can benefit you:

 

Convenience - Rather than having to find time to take your car to a garage and then trying to keep your life on track without it, you can have your air con regas completed at a location that works best for you. This could be your driveway or a car park at work during your normal day. This helps you avoid disruption.

Flexibility - You may be able to book a mobile air con regas on a weekend, evening or even overnight, depending on the mobile mechanics in your area. If your schedule doesn’t really accommodate maintenance at a traditional garage, this can make your life easier.

Transparency - You get to see what is happening during your mobile air con regas at all times. This makes it easier to trust the quality of the work and gives you the peace of mind that all the checks have been completed to the highest standard.

Cheaper - A mobile air con regas involves less overhead costs and expenses, so they are often at least competitively priced against, if not cheaper than most local garages.

Frequently asked questions

What Happens If I Don’t Regas My Aircon?

If you don’t take proper care of your car’s air conditioning system, it will fall into disrepair. Every year, your system loses 10% of the vital refrigerant that cools the air. This means that it will become inefficient quickly if you don’t look after it.

What’s more, if the refrigerant level drops too low, it will stop working altogether. If this happens, you may see problems in the long run as well. Pipes can easily seize and crack if the system isn’t used for long periods of time.

Moreover, failing to service your air conditioning system can allow mould and harmful bacteria to develop and filter into the cabin. These can be harmful if breathed in.

What Causes Air Conditioning Problems?

• Insufficient or old refrigerant.
• Low system pressure, typically caused by a leak or the failure of a component.
• Lack of use can place unexpected stress on components when the system is eventually turned on.
• The build-up of bacteria can make the air from your air conditioning system unhealthy.

Can I Regas My Air Con Myself?

While you can regas your car’s air conditioning system yourself, we would strongly advise against it. Without using specialist equipment and proper training, it can be a time-consuming and dangerous process. You risk freeze burns if the gas comes into contact with your skin and improper maintenance can lead to expensive repairs in the future.

You would be much better off booking an air con regas with a professional local garage than attempting to complete the job yourself.

How Do I Know if My Air Con Needs Regassing?

If your car’s air conditioning system is in need of a recharge, you will notice the following signs:

• A lack of cold air when you switch the system on.
• A noisy or inefficient system that struggles to cool the cabin
• Condensation on the inside of the windscreen
• A musty smell or similar when you use the air conditioning

If you notice any of the above symptoms, you should book an air con regas in Leicester as soon as possible.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Recharge Take?

An air conditioning recharge takes about 45 minutes. If the technician finds any issues or other problems, the repair time will increase.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Service Take?

A full air conditioning service takes around 1 hour. Again, if the technician finds any issues or other problems, the repair time will increase.

Is It Worth Getting My Air Con Regassed?

It’s always worthwhile to get your car’s air con system regassed if it isn’t working properly. Not only will broken air conditioning make driving on a hot day unpleasant, but it can also allow harmful bacteria to grow. This can filter into the cabin and make you ill.

If you regularly drive long distances during hot weather, it is even more important that you get your air con regassed. If you sweat a lot, you can make yourself dehydrated and tired. Driving in this state can increase your risk of an accident due to a loss of concentration.

Do I Need 1234yf or R134a Refrigerant Gas?

If your car was built and registered before 2017, it is likely that your air conditioning system needs R134a refrigerant gas. All cars built after 2017 will need 1234yf refrigerant gas.

Some cars built and registered before 2017 were fitted with 1234yf refrigerant. Certain manufacturers adopted this before it became a requirement because of its environmental benefit. R134a refrigerant gas is not very reactive and can take over a decade to break down in the atmosphere. 1234yf is much more reactive and tends to break down in a couple of weeks.

Your air con system must use the type of refrigerant gas recommended by your manufacturer. It is actually illegal to convert an R134a system to run on 1234yf refrigerant gas, even though it is better for the environment.

Do I Need to Use My Air Con All Year, Even in Winter?

You should use your car’s air con all year, even during the winter. This ensures it’s always in good condition because neglecting it for months at a time can cause issues associated with disuse.

We would recommend switching your car’s air conditioning on once a week to help with the demisting process. This will help you to avoid bacterial buildup and ensure the compressor and other parts are still in good working condition.
