Aircon Service & Repair FAQs

What Is Regassing, and When Should You Do It?

Regassing replaces old refrigerant and oil in your car’s air conditioning system with fresh gas. Most vehicles benefit from a regas every 1–2 years to keep the system effective.

If your air conditioning no longer cools properly or it’s been a while since your last check, it’s time to book in.

Does my car aircon need regassing?

Your car’s air conditioning system may need regassing if it’s not cooling as effectively as before or if it’s been 1-2 years since the last regas. Other signs include reduced airflow or strange noises when the aircon is running.

How often should car aircon be serviced?

We recommend servicing your aircon every 1-2 years. Refrigerant gas naturally escapes over time, reducing cooling efficiency. Regular servicing tops up refrigerant, checks components, and catches issues like leaks or bacteria build-up early.

Why is my aircon leaking?

Leaks can be caused by a blocked condensate drain, damaged condenser, or faulty evaporator. Condensation water must drain properly to avoid leaks that could damage your vehicle’s interior or electrical systems. It’s important to get this checked and repaired promptly.

Does aircon affect car performance?

Using your aircon places a small extra load on the engine, which can slightly reduce acceleration and fuel efficiency. However, this effect is minor and generally outweighed by the comfort it provides, especially in hot weather.

Using air conditioning in an electric vehicle (EV) will affect the range the vehicle can travel before needing to recharge.

Why is my AC not blowing cold air in my car?

If your aircon isn’t blowing cold air, it’s usually due to low refrigerant from leaks or depletion. Other causes include a faulty compressor, blocked condenser, or electrical issues affecting airflow. Poor cooling is a clear sign your system needs inspection.

How do I know if my car AC needs to be recharged?

You’ll notice if your aircon needs a recharge when the air isn’t as cold, or it takes longer to cool the cabin. You might hear the compressor trying to start or the aircon may stop working altogether.

Does Air Conditioning Affect Fuel Use?

A poorly maintained aircon system makes your engine work harder, increasing fuel consumption. However, driving with windows down at high speeds creates drag and uses even more fuel. A well-serviced aircon system keeps you cool and helps optimise fuel efficiency.
