The Air Conditioning Regas Process

The process to regas an air conditioning unit is fortunately a straightforward job for a technician and should not take them long at all. Prior to beginning the regas process, your technician will check the entire air conditioning system for any leaks – this is important as regassing a leaking system is likely to cause further damage. Once the system has been checked and no leaks found, the technician will be able to start the process. First and foremost, your technician will drain all of the old refrigerant from your cars A/C system in addition to its gas and lubricant. They will then replace these with fresh fluids and gas all round. In order to ensure good working order after carrying out a regas, it is commonplace to clean out the entire system, removing any bacteria that may have built up since the system was last serviced. It is recommended this process is carried out every two years in order to prevent foul odours from being emitted due to a build-up of bacteria in the system. As there are no new parts required for this job, the entire process can be done quickly – usually taking no more than 45 minutes to complete. You should notice an immediate difference in the quality of your air conditioning following a regas, with air blowing colder, stronger and with no noticeable smell. It is best to make good use of your air conditioning, as prolonged periods of non-use cause the compressor to remain unlubricated and will consequently cause the system to wear out much quicker.
