Air con regas in Newbury
Car air conditioning slowly loses refrigerant over the years, even when nothing is wrong. A regas recovers what is left, checks the system holds pressure and refills it to the right amount.
Signs the air con needs a regas
- Air from the vents is not as cold as it was
- It takes a long time to cool the car
- Windows are slow to demist
- A musty smell when it is switched on
- It has not been serviced for two years or more
What we do
- Recover the old refrigerant
- Vacuum test the system for leaks
- Refill with the correct amount of refrigerant and oil
- Check vent temperature and that the compressor is working

Questions we get asked
How often does air con need regassing?
Most manufacturers suggest roughly every two years. Using it regularly, including in winter, keeps the seals in good condition.
Which gas does my car use?
Most cars built since about 2017 use R1234yf, and older ones use R134a. Give us your reg when you call and we will confirm what your car takes.
What if it still blows warm after a regas?
Then there is a leak or a faulty part, such as the compressor or condenser. The vacuum test usually shows this up before we refill.
