Why You Should Get Your Air Conditioning Regassed – From Just £99+VAT at OVMS

What Is Car Air Conditioning Regassing?

Air conditioning regassing (also known as an air con recharge) is the process of removing old refrigerant gas from your vehicles AC system and refilling it with new gas to restore proper cooling performance.

Over time, air conditioning systems lose refrigerant through natural seepage and tiny leaks. If left unchecked, low refrigerant levels can reduce cooling efficiency, increase fuel consumption, and even damage your AC components.

Top Reasons to Regas Your Vehicle’s Air Conditioning

1. Restore Cooling Performance - If your AC is blowing warm or only mildly cool air, a regas can quickly bring back its full cooling capability.

2. Improve Fuel Efficience - A low refrigerant level can cause your system to work harder, which may put extra strain on your engine and reduce fuel economy.

3. Prevent Expensive Repairs - Operating your air conditioning system with low gas can damage the compressor—a costly component to replace.

4. Eliminate Unpleasant Smells - Stale or musty smells can occur due to moisture and bacteria buildup. Regassing, combined with an air con clean, helps eliminate odours and improve air quality.

5. Maintain Vehicle Value - A properly functioning air con system is a key selling point when it comes time to sell or part-exchange your vehicle.

When Should You Get Your Car’s Air Con Regassed?

Most manufacturers recommend regassing your vehicles air con every 2 years. However, if you notice any of the following signs, it might be time to book sooner:

• The air isn't as cold as it used to be
• AC takes a long time to cool the car
• Unusual noises when the AC is on
• Bad smells coming from vents
• Increased fuel usage

• How long does air con regassing take? - The regas process usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your vehicle and system type.
