Without it, your air con system would run out of gas and no longer keep your car cool &#8211; and although that might not sound like too much of a problem in the winter, in the summer months you\u2019re likely to need air conditioning much more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget, your air conditioning can be useful for more than just keeping you cool in summer. It\u2019s also good for helping to demist your car in winter, working alongside your car\u2019s heating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What air con gas does my car take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your car\u2019s air conditioning system uses a refrigerant gas which cools the air as it passes through the system and out into the cabin of your car. In order for the air con to work as desired, this gas needs to be kept topped up and regularly replaced. If it runs out, starts to get low or is left too long without being refreshed, that\u2019s when problems start to arise such as the air coming out warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid that, all you need to do is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrclutch.com\/air-conditioning-recharge\">recharge the air con<\/a> with refrigerant gas. However, many people don\u2019t realise that there are two different air con gases used in cars on the road today &#8211; and it\u2019s important to choose the right one for your car as using the wrong one could damage the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Problems with your car\u2019s air conditioning can be caused by the refrigerant getting low or running out, but it\u2019s also possible that they\u2019re caused by the wrong air con gas being used to recharge the system. This is why it\u2019s a good idea to get a qualified mechanic to recharge your air con at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrclutch.com\/branches\">your local autocentre<\/a>, so you can be sure it\u2019s been done right. Even if you\u2019re absolutely certain that the right gas has been used, if you\u2019re noticing problems, it\u2019s important to get the issues checked out as there could be underlying problems such as a leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of air con gas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which air con gas is right for your car usually depends on the year it was manufactured &#8211; although there are grey areas. The two most commonly used air con gases are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <strong>R134a &#8211;<\/strong> a type of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant that\u2019s been in use in cars since the 1990s. Most cars manufactured before 2013 will use this air con gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf<strong> R1234yf <\/strong>&#8211; this is a hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant that is used in most cars made from 2017 onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main reason why more modern cars use R1234yf instead of its predecessor is that it\u2019s better for the environment. R1234yf has a much lower global warming potential than R134a, so it\u2019s the preferred option in many countries that are trying to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The idea is that the use of R134a will slowly be phased out as older cars start to fail and newer ones become increasingly common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have noticed that R134a is used in cars pre-2013, while R1234yf is used for cars from 2017 onwards\u2026 which unfortunately leaves a grey area for cars manufactured between 2013 and 2017. Cars made during these years may use either type of air con gas, so it\u2019s important to check which one your car uses. Fortunately, there are three ways you can do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Check the vehicle handbook<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Look at the labels on the air con unit under the bonnet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf Ask a qualified mechanic to check for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How often to recharge car air conditioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lots of people don\u2019t realise that recharging air conditioning is even a thing, let alone know how often they\u2019re supposed to do it. Your vehicle handbook can provide details on this, but as a general rule, it\u2019s advisable to have your car air conditioning system recharged once every two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means that if you bought your car two or more years ago and you\u2019ve never had the air con recharged, you\u2019re more than due to have it done now. It\u2019s a good idea to get it done as soon as possible, particularly when the summer months are approaching, so you can be sure that it\u2019ll be in good working order the next time you use it. Some people also opt to have the air con system professionally cleaned at the same time, which can help to remove musty odours from disuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a car service include air conditioning?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of your car\u2019s service involves checking the temperature of your air conditioning, which may indicate that a recharge is needed if the system is blowing hot air. However, your mechanic  wouldn\u2019t usually take an in-depth look at your air conditioning system to check for damage or other performance issues during a service &#8211; so it\u2019s not necessarily the case that nothing being flagged on the service means everything\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of this, if you do notice any problems with your car\u2019s air conditioning, it\u2019s a good idea to take it into the garage to be inspected, rather than just waiting for your next service. And remember, services are all about spotting any problems with your vehicle, not solving them. If your mechanic tells you that your air con needs recharging, you\u2019ll need to have that done separately to the service. So, to be clear, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrclutch.com\/car-servicing\">your car\u2019s service<\/a> may let you know if your air con needs to be recharged, but it won\u2019t include recharging it for you and you may still need to get your system checked for damage or wear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recharging your car\u2019s air conditioning system is a vital part of its maintenance.
