Air Con Recharge Banbury

Restore your vehicle’s cooling power with a professional air con regas at 14 Automotive.

What we do

Restore your vehicle’s cooling power with a professional air con regas at 14 Automotive.

 Is your car blowing warm air when it should be cold? Noticed that your windows are taking longer to clear? It could be time for an air con recharge.

At 14 Automotive in Banbury, we now offer expert air conditioning recharging (also known as regassing) to get your system performing the way it should—fast, effective, and with no upselling.

What is air con regassing?

Over time, the refrigerant gas in your air conditioning system naturally escapes through seals, joints, and hoses. When levels drop too low, your air con becomes less efficient—or stops working altogether.

A regas involves:

  • Removing the old gas and oil
  • Replacing them with the correct type and amount of new refrigerant
  • Pressure testing and checking for performance

The result? Cold air through your vents again, and a more efficient, better-protected system.

Pricing

We offer straightforward, competitive pricing with no hidden extras:

  • R134A (older gas): £70
  • R1234YF (newer gas): £130

✅ Transparent pricing
✅ Professional service
✅ Fast turnaround

Why it matters?

Your air con isn’t just for staying cool in summer. It helps remove moisture from the cabin and clears misted windows quickly in colder months. Recharging the system improves overall efficiency, reduces wear on the compressor, and enhances comfort for everyone in the vehicle.

Whether you’re getting ready for a long drive or just want your air con working at its best, this quick service makes a noticeable difference.

Fleet Support Available

Looking after multiple vehicles? We also include air con regassing in our fleet maintenance packages. Whether you run cars, vans or motorhomes, we’ll help keep them cool, safe, and ready for the road.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need a regas?

If the air from your vents isn’t cold, takes a long time to cool the cabin, or your windows mist up more often, your system likely needs a recharge.

How often should I recharge the system?

Most manufacturers recommend every two years, but this can vary depending on how frequently you use your air conditioning.

What happens if I don’t regas it?

Low refrigerant levels reduce cooling performance and can put extra pressure on the compressor, potentially leading to costly repairs.
