Service Info

Typical Duration 1 hour

We recover the existing refrigerant, place the system under vacuum to confirm it holds pressure, then recharge by weight to the manufacturer figure. Compressor operation, condenser fan and vent temperature are checked before we hand the car back.

The Most Trusted Mobile Air Conditioning Regas

Is your aircon blowing air that is merely cool rather than cold? Refrigerant escapes slowly from every system through seals and hose walls, so performance fades over years rather than failing overnight. Michanic regases car air conditioning at your home or office, using a machine that recovers the old refrigerant, pulls the system into vacuum to check it holds, and recharges it to the exact weight your manufacturer specifies.

Why Choose Our Mobile Air Conditioning Regas Services?

  1. No Workshop Queue:
    A regas takes about an hour, and spending half a day at a workshop for it makes little sense. We bring the recovery and charging equipment to your driveway or office parking bay.
  2. Measured, Not Guessed:
    The system is charged by weight to the figure on your vehicle placard, not topped up until the gauge looks right. Overcharging cools worse than undercharging and strains the compressor.
  3. Leak Check Included:
    The vacuum test before recharging shows whether the system holds pressure. If it does not, you find out before paying for refrigerant that will leak away again.
  4. Correct Refrigerant:
    We identify whether your vehicle uses R134a or R1234yf before connecting anything. The two are not interchangeable and mixing them contaminates the system.

Why We are the Best Choice for Mobile Air Conditioning Regas

  • Qualified Technicians:
    Refrigerant handling is regulated work. Our technicians recover rather than vent the old gas, which is both the legal requirement and the reason the system can be tested properly.
  • Honest Assessment:
    If the system is empty, it has a leak, and a regas alone is a temporary fix. We say so rather than selling you the same service again in two months.
  • Full System Check:
    Vent temperature, compressor engagement and condenser fan operation are checked, because weak cooling is not always a refrigerant problem.
  • We Come To You:
    The work happens where the car is parked, so you are not without transport for a day.

Air conditioning is not only a comfort system. The same circuit dries the air used to demist your windscreen, so a system that has lost its charge leaves you fighting condensation in winter. Running a system that is low on refrigerant also starves the compressor of the oil carried with the gas, and a compressor that seizes sends metal debris through the whole circuit, turning a regas into a far larger repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often does car air conditioning need regassing?
    Most systems lose a small amount of refrigerant every year through seals and hose walls, so a regas every two to three years is normal. If yours needs one annually, it has a leak rather than a servicing requirement.
  • Why is my aircon blowing warm air?
    The most common cause is low refrigerant, but a failed compressor clutch, a blocked condenser, a faulty pressure switch or a stuck blend door all produce the same symptom. That is why the system is tested rather than simply refilled.
  • Is a regas the same as fixing a leak?
    No. A regas replaces the refrigerant that has escaped. If the system emptied quickly it has a leak, and the gas will escape again. Leak detection dye or a sniffer test locates the fault so it can be repaired properly.
  • Can I top up my own aircon with a DIY can?
    It is not advisable. DIY cans have no way to measure the charge by weight, so systems are routinely overfilled, which cools worse and strains the compressor. Many also contain sealant, which contaminates the system and the recovery equipment.
  • Does running the aircon in winter help?
    Yes. Running it briefly once a week keeps the seals lubricated by circulating the oil carried in the refrigerant, which slows down leaks. The system also dries the air used for demisting, so it earns its keep in winter.
