Why Choose Our Air Con Regas in Gainsborough?

Maintaining your vehicle’s refrigerant levels isn’t just about comfort; it protects your air con system from wear and tear. Industry guidelines recommend an air con regas every 2 to 3 years to ensure your system stays efficient and reliable.

Lesser-known benefits of a Car A/C regas

  • Better Fuel Economy – A low refrigerant level forces your air con system to work harder, which can raise your fuel consumption.
  • Improved Air Quality – Moisture buildup due to poor airflow can encourage mould and bacteria growth inside vents.
  • Prevents Component Damage – When refrigerant drops by just 10%, oil circulation decreases by up to 40%. Our service replenishes system oil to protect against hose damage and compressor failure.

Car Air Con Regas in Gainsborough – Frequently Asked Questions

If I don't use my Air Conditioning, will I still need an Air-Con Regas?

Yes, and likely sooner than if you used your air conditioning regularly.

Refrigerant gas is not consumed when the system is running, but it does escape gradually through the porous rubber hoses and various joints and connections.

In fact, when the system isn't used, the lubricating oil doesn't circulate, which can cause hoses and seals to dry out. This drying increases the likelihood of cracks and leaks, accelerating the rate of gas loss over time.

In 99% of cases, most customers first become aware that there is an issue with their air-con when it isn’t blowing as cold as it used to, which is the sign that your car needs an air-con regas.

However, if the air-con has stopped working altogether and the air isn’t at all cooler, this indicates that more than just a regas is needed as the vehicle likely has a leak in the air conditioning system.

This leak will need fixing before the system can be regassed.

Vehicle manufacturers suggest servicing your air conditioning system (including an air-con regas) every 2 to 3 years, as it can lose approximately 5% to 15% of its refrigerant gas annually through hoses and connections.

Reduced gas pressure can impair the circulation of lubricating oil throughout the system, which may lead to damage to costly components like the compressor, condenser and evaporator, as well as deterioration of the system's hoses.
