04 Jun Car Aircon Regas Victoria Point
Mobile Car Aircon Regas in Victoria Point
If your car air conditioning is no longer keeping the cabin properly cool, Keepin Cool Auto Air provides professional mobile car aircon regas in Victoria Point at suitable homes and workplaces.
We service both R134a and HFO-R1234yf automotive air conditioning systems using dedicated recovery, vacuum and recharge equipment.
Before carrying out a regas, we check how the system is operating. Reduced cooling can be caused by low refrigerant, but it can also result from a leak, compressor problem, electrical fault or another air conditioning issue.
With more than 40 years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience, Keepin Cool takes a diagnostic-first approach rather than automatically adding refrigerant.
Keepin Cool operates under ARCtick authorisation AU13448.
Car Aircon Regas Prices Victoria Point
Our current starting prices are:
R134a Regas – from $270
HFO-R1234yf Regas – from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.
If an HFO-R1234yf system requires more than 600g, an additional refrigerant charge may apply.
If inspection indicates another fault needs attention before regassing, we explain what has been found and discuss the next step with you.
Does My Car Need an Aircon Regas?
Poor cooling is one possible sign that your vehicle needs a regas, but it should not be assumed without checking the system.
Signs that your air conditioning needs attention can include:
- Air from the vents is no longer as cold
- The cabin takes longer to cool
- Cooling performance has gradually declined
- The AC works intermittently
- The system has previously lost refrigerant
- The compressor cycles abnormally
- The air conditioning has stopped cooling completely
These symptoms can also be caused by leaks, electrical faults, compressor problems or damaged components.
That is why we check the system first.
What Happens During a Car Aircon Regas?
A proper automotive air conditioning regas involves more than simply adding gas.
Initial System Check
We discuss the symptoms you have noticed and check the current operation of the air conditioning system.
System pressures and vent temperatures can help determine whether a straightforward regas is appropriate.
Refrigerant Recovery
Any refrigerant remaining in the system is professionally recovered using dedicated automotive AC equipment.
Vacuum Evacuation
The system is placed under vacuum for at least 30 minutes.
This helps remove air and moisture before the system is recharged.
Correct Refrigerant Recharge
The correct amount of R134a or HFO-R1234yf is added according to the vehicle specification.
Compressor oil and UV dye are added where appropriate.
Final Performance Test
Once the system has been recharged, we check pressures and vent temperatures to confirm cooling performance.
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes.
If diagnosis or repairs are required, the job may take longer.
R134a Car Aircon Regas Victoria Point
R134a is still widely used in many vehicles on Australian roads.
Our R134a car aircon regas starts from:
$270
The service includes refrigerant recovery, vacuum evacuation, the correct refrigerant charge and final performance testing.
HFO-R1234yf Regas Victoria Point
Many newer vehicles now use HFO-R1234yf refrigerant.
This refrigerant requires dedicated recovery and recharge equipment and is considerably more expensive than R134a.
Our HFO-R1234yf car aircon regas starts from:
$590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.
Vehicles requiring more than 600g may incur an additional refrigerant charge.
Why We Check the System Before Regassing
Not every air conditioner blowing warm air simply needs more refrigerant.
Other possible causes include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor faults
- Damaged AC hoses
- Electrical problems
- Pressure switch or sensor faults
- Condenser problems
- Other mechanical AC faults
Adding refrigerant without identifying an underlying problem may not restore cooling and can result in the refrigerant being lost again.
Our aim is to establish what the vehicle actually needs before recommending the next step.
Car Aircon Leak Detection Victoria Point
If a system is losing refrigerant, the source should be investigated.
Common leak areas can include:
- Air conditioning hoses
- O-rings and seals
- Condensers
- Compressors
- Pipe connections
- Service fittings
- Other refrigerant-carrying components
Where more detailed testing is required, our car aircon leak detection starts from:
$170
Once a leak is located, we explain the repair options before proceeding.
What If My Car Needs Diagnostics Instead?
Sometimes the problem is not refrigerant related.
If further fault-finding is required, our car air conditioning diagnostics start from:
$170
Diagnosis may include checking:
- System pressures
- Vent temperatures
- Compressor operation
- Electrical circuits
- Pressure switches and sensors
- Visible AC components
- Overall cooling performance
Correct diagnosis can prevent unnecessary regassing or parts replacement.

How Often Should Car Air Conditioning Be Regassed?
There is no single interval that applies to every vehicle.
Keepin Cool recommends having your automotive air conditioning checked and regassed around every two years and no later than four years.
The system should be inspected sooner if:
- Cooling performance drops
- Refrigerant is being lost
- The air conditioning stops working
- Unusual noises develop
- Cooling becomes intermittent
The actual condition of the system matters more than simply regassing because a fixed period has passed.

AC Diagnostics – from $170
Leak Detection – from $170
Air Conditioning Hose Repairs – from $240

The final cost depends on the vehicle, fault and parts required.
