How much is an air con recharge?
The cost of an air conditioning recharge depends on the type of refrigerant gas your car uses. Most vehicles in the UK use either R134A or R1234YF refrigerant. At Krause Autos, we provide both types for your convenience. If you’re in Sandy or Bedford and need an aircon regas, our team is equipped to handle your vehicle’s specific requirements.
How do I know which air con gas I require?
R134A gas is commonly found in vehicles manufactured before 2014. From 1st January 2017, all new vehicles with air conditioning are required to use the more environmentally friendly R1234YF gas. Vehicles produced between 2014 and 2016 may use either type. If you’re unsure which gas your car requires, and you’re located in Sandy or Bedford, our experts at Krause Autos can assist you in determining the correct type and perform the necessary aircon regas.
Does my air con need recharging?
Manufacturers recommend recharging your car’s air conditioning system every two years. Since the air conditioner isn’t inspected during your MOT test and regassing isn’t typically part of standard servicing, it’s essential to include this in your regular vehicle maintenance. If you’re in Sandy or Bedford, Krause Autos offers comprehensive aircon regas services to keep your system running efficiently.
Experiencing warm air or intermittent cooling from your AC? An aircon regas can restore the cold air you need during hot days and improve fuel efficiency by reducing strain on the system. Unpleasant odours from the vents may indicate the need for an air-con debug. Residents of Sandy and Bedford can rely on Krause Autos for expert air conditioning services.
Did you know?

The system produces dry warm air, clearing your windscreen more effectively than standard blowers. For drivers in Sandy and Bedford, ensuring your car air con is functioning properly year-round is essential, and Krause Autos is here to help.
