Why Does Your Air Conditioning Need Recharging?
Many motorists assume their air conditioning system is serviced during routine vehicle maintenance. In reality, this is not normally included in standard servicing schedules.
Air conditioning systems naturally lose refrigerant gas over time, even when there are no leaks present. This gradual loss reduces cooling performance and can place additional strain on expensive air conditioning components.
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend:
- Air conditioning servicing every 2 years
- Refrigerant recharge every 2 years
- Lubricant replacement during servicing
- Regular system checks to maintain efficiency
If your vehicle is more than two years old and hasn't had an air conditioning recharge recently, it's likely due for maintenance.

Air Conditioning Recharge Questions & Answers
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
The most common cause is low refrigerant gas levels. Air conditioning systems naturally lose refrigerant over time and require periodic recharging.
Can air conditioning help clear misted windows?
Yes. Air conditioning removes moisture from the air and is one of the quickest ways to clear condensation from vehicle windows.
Can I drive with low refrigerant gas?
You can, but cooling performance will be reduced and prolonged operation may place additional strain on air conditioning components.
Do you stock both refrigerant gas types?
Yes. LTC Tyres & Exhausts stock both R134A and R1234YF refrigerants at all branches.
How do I know if my air conditioning needs re-gassing?
If your air conditioning is not blowing as cold as it used to, takes longer to cool the cabin, or blows warm air, it may be due for a recharge.
