What’s Really Going On?
A working air conditioning system doesn’t just keep the cabin cool. It helps clear fogged-up windscreens, reduces moisture, and keeps the air cleaner while you drive. When it stops doing those things properly, the issue isn’t always as simple as a regas. Electrical faults like failing sensors, busted relays or glitchy control modules are often the real problem. That’s why it pays to see someone who understands both sides of the system.
We’re licensed to handle the refrigerant and trained to tackle the electronics. Get in touch if your air con isn’t doing its job and we’ll take care of the rest.

FAQ
Can low refrigerant damage the air conditioning system?
Yes, running your car’s air conditioning system with low refrigerant can cause damage over time. Refrigerant not only cools the air, it also lubricates critical components like the compressor. When levels are too low, parts can overheat or seize, leading to costly repairs. You might also notice the system cycling frequently or not cooling effectively. If your system seems underperforming, it’s important to get it checked before it causes further damage.
What’s the difference between re-gassing and repairing the system?
Re-gassing involves refilling the refrigerant in your air conditioning system and checking for basic leaks. It’s usually done when the system is low on gas but otherwise functioning properly. Repairing, on the other hand, deals with faulty components like compressors, condensers, relays or hoses. If the gas keeps leaking or the system doesn’t cool even after a re-gas, it likely needs mechanical or electrical repairs. A licensed technician can identify the problem and recommend the right fix.
How do I know if the compressor is faulty?
Signs of a failing air conditioning compressor include warm air blowing from the vents, unusual noises (like clunks or squeals), or the compressor clutch not engaging. The compressor is the heart of the system, and when it stops working, the rest of the system can’t circulate refrigerant properly. A technician will typically check the electrical feed, pressure levels, and mechanical operation to confirm if the compressor is at fault. Early diagnosis can help avoid damage to other components in the system.
