Air Conditioning Regas in Trowbridge
Car air conditioning systems naturally lose refrigerant over time — typically around 10–15% per year. This means even a system that has never had a problem will stop cooling effectively after a few years. A regas replenishes the refrigerant and restores cooling performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most manufacturers recommend every 2–3 years as routine maintenance. If your system has stopped cooling, it may need attention sooner.
The most common reason is low refrigerant from natural leakage. A regas usually fixes this. If there's a significant leak, we'll find it and advise on repairs.
Yes, slightly — running the AC increases fuel consumption by around 5–10%. A properly charged system is more efficient than one struggling with low refrigerant.
Cars made before around 2017 typically use R134a. Newer vehicles use R1234yf. We carry both and will check your vehicle to ensure we use the correct type.
