What’s the Difference Between an Air Con Regas, an Air Conditioning Recharge and an Air Conditioning Service?

The biggest difference between an air con regas/recharge and an air conditioning service is the amount of work they include. An air conditioning recharge is just another way to refer to an air con regas; they are one and the same.

During an air con regas, a technician will use a specialised machine to remove the old refrigerant, usually check for any leaks within the system and, if all is well, refill the system with the right amount of fresh refrigerant and lubricating oil.

During an air conditioning service, a technician will complete the same recharging process but will give your system a proper inspection. This usually includes:

  • A full visual inspection of the system.
  • Completing a pressure test.
  • Checking that the entire system works properly (all the switches, thermostats etc).
  • Checking the temperature of the condenser while it is in use.

However, this can vary from garage to garage. All these extra checks mean that a service is more expensive than a recharge.

 

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.

 

What are the Benefits of an Air Con Regas?

The three main benefits of an air con regas are:

  1. Increased Fuel Efficiency. If your system is running low on refrigerant gas, it will have to work harder to cool the air in your cabin. This extra work requires more fuel which can mean more regular trips to a petrol station.
  2. Reduced Repair Costs. Running a faulty air conditioning system for an extended period of time can accelerate the wear and tear of certain parts, such as the compressor. Replacing this part is much more expensive than booking an air conditioning regas.
  3. Improved Demisting Ability. While it may seem counter-productive to use your car’s air con to demist the windscreen in the winter, it can actually be quicker than using the heater. This cool dry air is still warmer than the glass and is quite effective at clearing your field of vision. Plus, you don’t have to wait for the engine to warm up before you can start demisting.

 

Frequently asked questions

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 the 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 near you as soon as possible.

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.

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.

How Does Car Air Conditioning Work?

An air conditioning system controls your car's temperature and works in a similar way to a kitchen refrigerator. When the refrigerant in these units changes from a liquid state to a gas, it cools down.

Outside air is blown past the coils in which the gas flows, and is therefore also cooled before it is blown into the car’s cabin. The air con gas then returns to liquid form in the system's compressor, heating it up and directing the warm air outside the car.

Why is Air Conditioning Important?

Car air conditioning serves two purposes. It cools down the cabin, improving your comfort and preventing the type of heat-related irritability that may lead to an accident.

Also, because air conditioners generate less humid air, they can be used to demist a fogged-up windscreen more quickly than when air is blown out of a standard ventilation system.

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.

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.
