Air Conditioning Recharge Service
Air conditioning isn't just for keeping cool in the summer. It's also one of the most effective ways to de-mist your windows during colder weather, helping to improve visibility all year round.
At Bayliss Garages, our F-Gas certified technicians provide an air conditioning recharge service to restore refrigerant levels and help your system perform as intended. During the process, we recover the existing refrigerant, vacuum the system, and refill it with the correct type and quantity of gas. A printout can be provided showing the amount of refrigerant recovered and recharged*.
The cost of an air conditioning recharge depends on the type of refrigerant your vehicle uses:
-
R134A Recharge (most vehicles manufactured before 2017) - £80
-
R1234YF Recharge (most vehicles manufactured from 2017 onwards) - £140
Air Con Recharge Prices
Air Conditioning Recharge (R1234YF) - £140
Keep your vehicle's air conditioning performing at its best with our R1234YF Air Con Recharge Service for just £140.
R1234YF refrigerant is fitted to all newly manufactured vehicles with air conditioning since 1 January 2017. Vehicles produced between 2014 and 2016 may use either R134A or R1234YF, as manufacturers transitioned to the newer gas during this period.
Why Recharge Your Air Conditioning?
Manufacturers recommend recharging your air conditioning system every 2 years to maintain optimum performance. Air conditioning is not checked during an MOT and is not usually included as part of a routine service, making regular maintenance essential.
Signs Your Air Conditioning Needs Attention
-
Air conditioning blowing warm or less-cold air
-
Intermittent cooling performance
-
Unpleasant odours from the vents
-
Increased strain on the engine and air conditioning system
A recharge can often restore cooling performance if low refrigerant levels are the cause. However, if there is a fault or leak within the system, further diagnosis and repairs may be required by a specialist.
Atomising
Cabin Atomising - £20
Does your air conditioning produce unpleasant smells during or after use? If so, your system may benefit from an anti-bacterial treatment.
At Bayliss Garages, we use professional air conditioning sanitising treatments designed to eliminate bacteria, mould and odours that can build up within your vehicle's ventilation and air conditioning system.
Depending on the vehicle and treatment required, this may involve a cabin sanitising treatment or a full system atomising process while the air conditioning is operating.
The treatment circulates through the ventilation system, helping to leave your vehicle smelling fresh and clean while reducing bacteria and unwanted odours.
Ideal if you notice:
-
Musty or damp smells from the vents
-
Unpleasant odours when the air conditioning is switched on
-
Reduced freshness inside the vehicle cabin
Breathe cleaner, fresher air and keep your vehicle's air conditioning system smelling its best

*PLEASE NOTE: The Air Con system will perform a vacuum pressure check before automatically legally re-gassing the system and checking for blowing cool air. Even though there is no guarantee of how long the system will hold the gas, dye is applied to help find leaks if they occur during use.
If the test stops and detects a leak you will not be charged but the vehicle may require a specialist to investigate further. Slow-releasing leaks may not always be detected. If you suspect your car has a leak we’d advise getting a nitrogen check performed by a specialist before attending your booking.
Please be aware once the gas has been added to the vehicle it is NON REFUNDABLE
