Air Conditioning Regas Service

Do I need to recharge my air conditioning?

It is recommended that you should recharge your air-conditioning system every 2 years with gas and lubricant, in order to keep it running efficiently. This is not included as part of a routine car service and so it can often be overlooked. If your car is more than 2 years old it is more than likely due a Re-Gas. If you're still not sure you need it, you can book a free air-cone health check at DeeBee. 

How much does it cost?

The price you pay for an air conditioning recharge depends on the type of refrigerant gas your car uses. The vast majority of cars on the road in the UK use one of two types of refrigerant - R134A and R1234YF. If your air conditioning system requires R134A gas the cost to recharge is £59.95. For vehicles that require R1234YF gas, the cost is £129.95 to recharge. It is not possible to switch between gases, in fact, the port to recharge R1234YF models is different from the R134A making it impossible to refill with the incorrect gas.

• We also complete air con servicing on hybrid vehicles

What does an air conditioning recharge involve?

When carrying out an Aircon Recharge, our staff will perform the following tasks:

• Check the operation of air conditioning system - visual, temperature, leak checks
• Recovery of refrigerant, evacuation of air and moisture from system
• Inject fresh system lubricant
• Recharge refrigerant to recommended levels
• Add ultraviolet dye to aid future leak detection

Air con cleaning 

If there are bad smells coming from your air vents when you turn on your air condition, then your car may also benefit from an air con clean, also known as a debug. This process can take approximately 30 minutes where a special anti-bacterial spray is applied inside the air vents and left to circulate around the whole system.
