What Is Included in a Thorneside Car AC Regas?
A professional regas involves more than simply adding refrigerant.
Our service generally includes:
- Initial AC system inspection
- Recovery of existing refrigerant and oil
- Vacuuming the system for at least 30 minutes
- Checking that the system maintains vacuum
- Adding the correct refrigerant weight
- Adding the appropriate compressor oil and UV dye where required
- Final operating-pressure and vent-temperature testing
This helps us confirm whether the system is operating correctly after the recharge.
For a detailed explanation of the process, read our guide to regassing your car air conditioner.
Why Can Car Aircon Regas Prices Be Different?
The price can vary because not every vehicle uses the same refrigerant or requires the same amount.
R134a and HFO-R1234yf require different servicing equipment, and HFO-R1234yf refrigerant is considerably more expensive.
The amount of refrigerant required can also vary between vehicles.
There can also be additional costs if the inspection identifies a fault that requires further diagnosis or repair.
This is why it is important to distinguish between the cost of a straightforward regas and the cost of repairing a faulty air conditioning system.
What If My Car AC Cannot Be Regassed?
Not every vehicle that blows warm air simply needs more refrigerant.
If the system has a significant leak, compressor fault, electrical problem or another issue, a regas may not be the correct repair.
Where more detailed fault finding is required, our car AC inspection and fault diagnostics service starts from $170.
We explain what has been found and discuss the available repair options before additional work proceeds.
Does Warm Air Mean My Car Needs a Regas?
Not necessarily.
Warm air can be caused by:
- Low refrigerant
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor faults
- Electrical faults
- Pressure sensor problems
- Condenser fan faults
- Other AC component problems
That is why Keepin Cool uses a diagnostic-first approach rather than automatically adding refrigerant.
Our guide to signs your car air conditioning needs regassing explains the most common symptoms.
How Long Does a Car Aircon Regas Take?
A straightforward car AC regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes, provided the initial inspection does not uncover another fault requiring further diagnosis or repair.
More complex AC problems can take longer depending on the fault and vehicle.
How Often Should Car Air Conditioning Be Regassed?
There is no single interval that suits every vehicle.
Keepin Cool recommends having your car air conditioning checked and regassed around every 2 years, and no later than 4 years.
Have the system inspected sooner if:
- Cooling performance drops
- The AC starts blowing warm air
- Cooling becomes intermittent
- Unusual noises develop
- Refrigerant appears to be leaking
- Another AC fault develops
