Why Is Air-Con Regassing Essential?

• Maintains Cooling Efficiency A fully charged A/C system provides consistent cooling, ensuring driver and passenger comfort, particularly in hot climates or during long trips. For fleet operators, this can be a key factor in reducing driver fatigue.
• Prevents Compressor Damage Refrigerant carries lubricant around the AC system. 
• Boosts Fuel Economy.
• Improves Vehicle Longevity.

Is your car's air conditioning not working as is should?

The air con in your car plays an important role, keeping you cool in the summer and improving the air quality inside your vehicle. Most of us expect our air conditioning to work without a second thought, but when warm air comes out of the vents on the Hot British days of summer, it's not the most pleasant feeling.

Fortunately, it’s not an expensive to keep your air-con working. At LTC Tyres and Exhausts Halesowen, we offer air-con regassing at great prices so you don't have to worry.

What is Regassing?

At LTC Tyres and Exhausts Halesowen, Air-con regassing is the process of removing the old gas from your air conditioning system and replacing it with new, so your air con can run cold again.  It should be the first thing you explore if your air-con system isn’t blowing as cold as it should. The process should take LTC Tyres and Exhausts Halesowen no longer than an hour to do.

There could be other reasons why your air-con isn't blowing cold anymore, but LTC Experts will be able to advise if the issue is the result of anything other than the need for regassing. For example, it's possible your system may have a leak.

How do you know when your air-con needs regassing?

The first sign that your air-con needs regassing is that the air being blown from the vents is not as cool as it used to be, or it doesn’t feel any different when the AC is switched off. If you can’t remember the last time the system was regassed, it’s probably worth doing. Pop your vehicle into LTC Tyres and Exhausts Halesowen, we will be happy to help and advise whether you need your Air-Con Serviced.

What else do I need to consider about my car’s air-con, and how do I maintain it?

As well as getting the system re-gassed, the best way to keep your air-con in top form is to use it all year round. Change the cabin filter regularly, and consider an anti-bacterial clean if you notice musty smells coming from the vents.

You will also need to factor the year of your vehicle, as different gas may be used in the vehicle. There are 2 types of gas that we use at LTC Tyres and Exhausts Halesowen for re-gas on your air con system. We first need to establish what year your vehicle is. Prices will vary depending on the vehicle as we charge by the amount of gas used.

• R134A Gas from £60 (Older Vehicles before 2015)
• R1234YF Gas From £130 (Most Vehicles from 2015-on)
