AC Re-gas
A malfunctioning or broken down AC system in your car can cause stress and inconvenience. At the first sign of any issues, get it checked immediately before the problem gets worse. You might need a regas.
What is air conditioning re-gas or regassing?
An aircon regassing is when technicians remove the old refrigerant from your vehicle's air conditioning system and replace it with a new and more fresh batch so your AC can continue to produce cold air. It also covers topping up your refrigerant, so your AC has the optimum level. When you have issues with your AC no longer cooling, check to see if it needs a regas first before moving on to any other procedure.
How important is a car air conditioning re-gas?
The Australian sun can be unforgiving. It can affect your comfort and safety, especially during summers. If you're in your car a lot, having a fully functioning air conditioner is vital. A cool and comfortable car will also keep you focused.
3 Signs your AC needs a regas.
Seriously think about getting an AC regas when:
1. The AC is running but not cooling.
When your AC is no longer as cold as it used to be, it could mean that you are running low on refrigerant (usually freon). Get your refrigerant levels checked and re-gassed if it has fallen below the correct levels.
2. An AC leak & bad smell

3. Noisy AC
If you hear a grinding, rattling or banging noise coming from your AC, check if you need re-gas.

How often should you get your AC re-gas?
Depending on your car manufacturer, your air conditioning system may last anywhere between two to five years without having it re-gassed. However, it can last even longer with proper and regular maintenance.
Even if you buy the most expensive car in the world, around 10% of the refrigerant gas of your air conditioning system is lost annually. So get your AC checked regularly, so you don't end up with a dead AC in the middle of a hot drive this summer.
