Think your car’s air conditioning is only useful during a heatwave? Think again. At Dom’s Garage Services in Letchworth, we regularly service air con systems throughout the year - and for good reason. A regas doesn’t just keep you cool, it keeps your car safe, comfortable and running efficiently all year round.

1. Faster Windscreen Demisting in Winter

One of the biggest benefits of your air conditioning system — especially in the UK — is how well it handles moisture. On cold, damp mornings, it’s your air con that clears the windscreen quickly by pulling humidity out of the air. If your system is low on gas, demisting takes longer, affecting your visibility and safety.

2. Fresher Cabin Air All Year Round

When air con systems aren’t maintained, they can build up bacteria and mould in the evaporator. This leads to unpleasant smells and can aggravate allergies. A regular regas and antibacterial treatment keeps your cabin air fresh and healthy, no matter the season.

3. Prevents Long-Term Damage

Over time, air con systems lose gas — typically 10–20% per year — even if you don’t use them often. Low gas levels force the compressor to work harder, putting strain on the system and potentially causing costly damage. A quick regas helps avoid bigger repair bills down the line.

4. Improves Fuel Efficiency

Believe it or not, a poorly maintained air con system can use more fuel. When it’s low on refrigerant, the compressor runs inefficiently. A properly recharged system reduces engine load, helping maintain better fuel economy.

5. You’ll Be Ready for Summer

The worst time to find out your air conditioning isn’t working? The first sweltering day of summer. Book a regas in spring or autumn and you’ll avoid long waits during peak season — and stay cool when it really matters.

When Should You Regas Your Car’s Air Conditioning?

Most manufacturers recommend recharging your system every 2 years. But if you’ve noticed that the air isn’t as cold as it used to be — or your windscreen is taking longer to clear — it’s time to book in.
