What is the cost of Car Air Con re-gassing?
Does my Car air con need re-charging (re-gassing)
If your AC is blowing out warm air or only works intermittently, an AC recharge can bring back cold air when you need it most on hot days and can also improve your fuel efficiency as there is less strain on the system and engine. Unpleasant smells coming from the air vents also suggest that your air con needs some attention.
The recharge process is quite simple and involves removing any old refrigerant gas and oil from your air con system before replacing this 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 air con re-gas process is completed and you will once again have refreshing cool air on demand. Our trained technicians will show you the difference in your AC before and after recharge. Vehicle air conditioners that are not recharged regularly will 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.

A dirty and clogged condenser or heat exchanger will restrict air flow and cooling efficiency of the air conditioning.
A condenser cooling fan that’s not working properly will affect air con performance.
Deposits from a corroded air conditioning system may block tubes or valves, affecting performance. This has the potential for serious damage, should a blockage prevent lubricating oils from circulating.
Leaks in the aircon system will not only allow gas to escape, but can also allow air and moisture into the system. Failure to vacuum purge the air conditioning system prior to a refrigerant re-charge (re-gas) can have the same effect.
Moisture in the system could freeze and cause a blockage.
Other problems including wear of the metering valve, switches, compressor or compressor clutch can affect operation.
Bacteria can make air conditioning smell bad! The system will need a de-bug to remove bacteria. It may also benefit from cleaning other parts. Whites Auto Centre Plymouth can also do this. Just call or E-mail us today.
