How a regas works
1
Recover
The machine draws out the gas left in the system and weighs it, which shows how much has been lost.
2
Vacuum
The system is held under vacuum. If it won’t hold, there is a leak, and we tell you before adding gas.
3
Recharge
We put back the exact weight of gas and oil the maker specifies.
4
Test
We check the vent temperature and that the compressor is cycling properly.
Which gas does your car use?
R134a
Most cars built before about 2017. Cheaper to recharge.
R1234yf
Most newer cars. The gas costs more, so the regas price is higher. We check which your car uses from the registration and the label under the bonnet.
When a regas isn’t enough
Leaks
Condensers sit at the front of the car and get hit by stones. Pipes and seals also leak with age.
Compressor
If the compressor won’t engage, or is noisy, we test the clutch and the electrics before quoting.
Musty smell
A blocked cabin filter or damp evaporator. A new cabin filter often sorts it, and we tell you if the evaporator needs attention.
Air con work in Royston
The workshop is at Unit 6, Block 2, Lower Gower Road, off the A505 on the north side of Royston. Collection is free within 5 miles of the workshop. From Ashwell, Baldock, Letchworth Garden City, Hitchin or Buntingford, ask us about collection when you book. You are always welcome to drop the car off yourself.
Running the air con for ten minutes once a week, even in winter, keeps the seals lubricated and helps clear a misted screen.

Questions we get asked
How often does air con need regassing?
Systems lose a little gas each year. Every two to three years is common if it has started to feel weaker.
Why is my air con blowing warm?
Low gas is the most common cause, but a leak, a compressor fault or an electrical problem can do it too.
How long does a regas take?
About an hour if the system holds vacuum.
Will you regas a system with a leak?
We tell you first. Refilling a leaking system wastes gas, so we quote for the repair.
