Professional Air Con Re-Gas
In our climate, a working air conditioner isn’t a luxury—it’s a must. Over time, all vehicle air con systems slowly lose refrigerant, especially with regular use in heat and humidity. If your A/C is blowing warm air, struggling to cool the cabin, or cycling on and off erratically, it’s likely due for a re-gas.
Our re-gassing service follows industry best practices and meets Australian environmental and safety standards. That means we don’t just top up the refrigerant and send you on your way—we fully evacuate the old gas, vacuum test the system for leaks, and recharge it with the correct refrigerant (R134a or R1234yf, depending on your vehicle). We also check pressure levels, compressor performance and cabin vent temperature to ensure optimal cooling.
It’s recommended to re-gas your system every 1.5-2 years, especially if you're driving in hot regions or regularly using climate control. To get your air con back to peak performance, call
(02) 4284 9208
and book a proper, compliant re-gas service with a team that knows what they’re doing.
Why is my car air con blowing warm air even though it was re-gassed recently?
If your system has been re-gassed and is still blowing warm, it could be a sign of a leak, a failed compressor clutch, or a blocked expansion valve. Re-gassing without repairing leaks only provides short-term relief—the refrigerant will escape again within days or weeks. Diagnosing the root cause requires pressure testing and a system inspection to determine whether components are holding refrigerant and operating within correct temperature ranges.
How often should a car air conditioning system be re-gassed?
Most manufacturers recommend re-gassing your air conditioning every 1.5 to 2 years to maintain efficiency and avoid wear on components. Over time, even sealed systems lose a small amount of refrigerant through hoses and connections. Low refrigerant levels reduce cooling performance and can strain the compressor, which is costly to replace. Regular servicing ensures you stay cool and avoid expensive repairs down the line.
Why does my air conditioning system smell bad when I turn it on?
Musty or mouldy smells from your car’s air con often point to a dirty or damp cabin filter, or moisture building up in the evaporator core. When left unserviced, this environment becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mildew. A thorough system flush, cabin filter replacement and antibacterial treatment can eliminate the odour and improve air quality inside the cabin. It’s especially important for drivers with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
