Mobile Car Air Conditioning Services in Gumdale
At Keepin Cool, we don’t just add refrigerant to an air conditioning system. We inspect and leak-test it first to determine whether a regas or repair is required.
Our mobile services include:
- R134a car aircon regas – Professional inspection, leak testing and refrigerant recharge.
- HFO-1234yf regas – Servicing newer vehicles using dedicated refrigerant equipment.
- Trace-A-Gas leak detection – Testing to help locate refrigerant leaks before regassing.
- Air conditioning diagnostics – Checking system pressures, cooling performance and electrical components.
- Compressor replacement – Diagnosis and replacement of faulty AC compressors.
- Condenser repairs and replacement – Identifying leaks and damage affecting system performance.
- Air conditioning hose repairs – Repairing or replacing suitable refrigerant hoses and connections.
- Cooling fan and electrical faults – Diagnosing intermittent operation and poor cooling.
Every vehicle is assessed individually, and we’ll explain what is required before recommending additional work.
Car Aircon Regas Gumdale – Inspection First
If your car’s air conditioning is no longer cooling effectively, low refrigerant may be the cause. However, refrigerant loss can also indicate a leak that needs repairing.
That’s why Keepin Cool carries out an inspection and leak test before recharging the system.
When the system passes inspection, our professional regas procedure includes:
- Initial inspection: Check cooling operation, system condition and possible faults.
- Leak testing: Use professional testing methods, including Trace-A-Gas where appropriate.
- Refrigerant recovery: Recover any remaining refrigerant using specialist equipment.
- Vacuum evacuation: Remove air and moisture before recharging.
- Accurate recharge: Add the correct refrigerant quantity by weight, compressor oil as required and UV dye.
- Final performance check: Test cooling performance, system pressures and vent temperatures.
This process helps ensure the system receives the correct refrigerant charge rather than simply being topped up without checking for faults.
R134a Car Aircon Regas – $270
Our R134a regas costs $270 when successfully completed.
The service includes the system inspection, leak testing, refrigerant recharge, compressor oil as required, UV dye and final cooling-performance check.

HFO-1234yf Car Aircon Regas – From $590
Many newer vehicles use HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which requires dedicated servicing equipment.
Our HFO-1234yf regas starts from $590, including up to 600 grams of refrigerant.
Vehicles requiring more than 600 grams may incur an additional refrigerant charge.
Read about our HFO-1234yf air conditioning regas service.
What Happens if the System Fails Inspection?
If repairs are needed before the air conditioning can be regassed, we’ll explain the fault and provide a repair quote first.
If you decide not to proceed with the required repairs, a $170 inspection and leak-test fee applies.
The regas charge only applies when the regas is successfully completed.
Car Air Conditioning Repairs Gumdale
A vehicle’s air conditioning system contains several components that must work together to deliver consistent cooling.
A fault in the compressor, condenser, hoses, electrical controls or cooling fans can reduce performance or stop the system from operating completely.
Keepin Cool uses professional car air conditioning diagnostics to investigate the problem before recommending repairs.
Car Air Conditioning Blowing Warm Air
If warm air is coming from your vents, the problem may involve low refrigerant, a compressor fault, condenser damage or an electrical problem.
A regas may restore cooling when the system is suitable, but it won’t repair a faulty component or an ongoing refrigerant leak.
Testing helps determine the correct solution.
Aircon Cold While Driving but Warm When Stopped
Does your air conditioning work reasonably well while driving but become warmer at traffic lights or when idling?
This can indicate inadequate condenser airflow, an inoperative cooling fan or another system performance problem.
We check the relevant components and operating conditions to identify the likely cause.
Car Aircon Cooling Intermittently
Intermittent cooling can be particularly frustrating, especially when your air conditioning works perfectly one moment and stops cooling the next.
Possible causes include:
- Compressor clutch or control faults
- Faulty pressure sensors or switches
- Electrical relays and wiring problems
- Intermittent cooling fan operation
- Expansion valve problems
A proper diagnosis helps avoid unnecessary replacement of otherwise functioning components.
Noisy or Faulty Air Conditioning Compressor
Unusual noises when the air conditioning operates can indicate compressor or associated drive-system problems.
However, not every noisy or non-operating air conditioning system needs a new compressor.
We carry out testing before recommending our car AC compressor replacement service.
Professional Trace-A-Gas Leak Detection in Gumdale
Refrigerant leaks are a common reason for poor car air conditioning performance.
Small leaks can develop gradually and may be difficult to identify without suitable testing equipment.
Common leak locations include:
- Air conditioning condensers
- Refrigerant hoses and connections
- Compressor seals
- Service valves and O-rings
- Evaporator coils
- Refrigerant pipework
Keepin Cool uses professional leak detection methods, including Trace-A-Gas pressure testing, to help locate leaks before regassing the system.
Unlike relying solely on a vacuum test, pressure-based testing can help identify small leaks that might otherwise go undetected.
If a leak is identified, we’ll explain the affected component and discuss the repair options before proceeding.
