Air Conditioning Service & Repair
The air conditioning is blowing lukewarm at best, or it worked fine last summer and now it doesn't, and you'd rather sort it before the first proper hot week than during it.
Most air con problems are a slow refrigerant leak rather than a failed compressor, and finding the leak properly means the regas actually lasts more than one season. We check the system before recommending a full regas, not after.
What The Job Involves
Leak detection before a regas
A system that has lost its charge has lost it somewhere. We check for leaks with UV dye or electronic detection before simply topping it back up, so the fix actually holds.
Compressor and condenser diagnosis
If the compressor itself has failed, or the condenser is damaged, a regas alone won't fix it. We diagnose the actual component before quoting.
Correct refrigerant, correct oil
Different systems use different refrigerant types and compressor oils. We use the correct spec for your model, not whatever happens to be in the tank.
Why Have GCS Do It
- Leak detection before a regas, so the fix lasts.
- Correct refrigerant and oil for your specific model.
- Booked alongside a service, so the car is not up on the ramp twice.
Questions We Get Asked
Why does my air con stop working every year?
A system needing regassing every year almost always has a slow leak somewhere. We would rather find and fix the leak than keep topping it up.
How long does a regas take?
Usually under an hour once any leak has been identified and fixed, and it's easily booked alongside a service.
