Air-con regassing in Worcester
Why does my air-con blow warm air?
A common reason why the air conditioning system is only blowing warm air, is due to a lack of refrigerant gas. However, there can be many other causes, such as a faulty electrical system, broken cooling fans, or a broken compressor. Whatever the reason, it’s best to get it checked to improve the cooling and de-misting functions, and the air quality inside the cabin.

FAQs | Air Conditioning Regas & Servicing
Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about air conditioning issues and the repair process. If you notice any problems with your vehicle’s air conditioning system, get in touch today for a quote or to get your vehicle booked in for an air-con service.
What is an air-con "re-gas"?
An air conditioning re-gas service replaces the old air-con refrigerant with new gas. Over time, the refrigerant inside the system runs out and this causes it to stop to cooling and de-misting the cabin properly. An air-con re-gas involves removing any old refrigerant, cleaning the air conditioning system and then refilling it with fresh refrigerant before checking the system again.
What does an air conditioning service involve?
An air conditioning service is a comprehensive check to ensure that there are no leaks or damage to the system. Here’s a summary of the steps involved:
- Initial inspection using a manifold gauge to check for obvious damage.
- Removal of old air-con refrigerant gas.
- Vacuum pumps are used to remove any excess moisture.
- The system is then checked for leaks.
- The system is then re-gassed using the new refrigerant.
- The performance is tested to ensure the system runs properly and at the correct pressure.
How much does an air-con re-gas/ service cost?
The price of a re-gas/ air-con service varies depending on the type of refrigerant gas required by the vehicle. For an accurate quote, please get in touch without our team today and let us know the make, model and age of the vehicle or provide us with the registration number.
What are the benefits of an air-con re-gas?
- Improved cooling of the air conditioning system.
- Improved demisting to reduce window fog.
- Prevention of more expensive repairs.
- Improvement to the air quality i.e. less chance of mould and bacterial growth.
What are the common causes of poor air conditioning performance?
- Refrigerant gas leaks which happen naturally over time, or due to broken parts in the system.
- Moisture in the air conditioning system.
- Lack of use which can cause the seals to dry out and crack.
- Blocking or damage to the condenser in the system.
Why is it important to have a functioning air-con system?
- It ensures that the cabin is comfortable in warm weather.
- It helps to de-fog the windows efficiently in humid environments.
- It improves air quality in the cabin and helps to prevent bacterial and fungal buildup.
- It can prevent expensive future repairs.
What are the signs that my car needs an air conditioning re-gas?
Some common signs that your car needs an air conditioning/ re-gas service include:
- The air conditioning system is only blowing warm air and isn’t cooling properly.
- Hissing sounds when the air conditioning system is on.
- Strange smells coming from the air vents.
- Visible leaks around the vents.
- Excessive condensation in the cabin which takes a long time to clear.
How long does an air conditioning re-gas take?
An air conditioning re-gas service typically takes 45-60 minutes to complete. You are welcome to wait or can drop the vehicle off and collect it later if you prefer.
How often does the air conditioning need re-gassing?
Most vehicles need an air conditioning re-gas every 2 years as the refrigerant gas will drain over time. This helps to keep the system in good working order. If you find that your air conditioning system isn’t working properly and it has been less than 2 years since the last service, then you should get it checked by a garage as it’s a sign that there is a leak or other issue with the system.
How do I know which air-con gas my car needs?
There are two main types of air-con gas (refrigerant):
- R134A – commonly found in cars manufactured before 2014
- R1234YF – found in all cars manufactured after 2017
If your vehicle was manufactured between 2014-2016, it could have either type of gas. We will check which gas your vehicle requires before we complete the service.
