Auto Air Conditioning in Cairns

Re-gassing vs Full System Air Conditioning Service

Most Cairns drivers call us asking for a regas, and that's completely understandable, it's the term everyone knows. But a regas on its own simply tops up the refrigerant. If there's an underlying leak in the system, that gas will be gone again within weeks, and you're back to a hot car in the middle of a Far North Queensland summer.

At our Stratford workshop, our mechanics in Cairns always check the system before reaching for the refrigerant. That means a pressure test and UV dye leak detection to identify exactly where the system is losing gas — whether that's a worn compressor seal, a pinhole in the condenser, or a failing hose fitting. We also carry out hydrogen and nitrogen testing to pinpoint leaks that a standard pressure check can miss.

Once the fault is found and repaired, we evacuate the system fully and recharge it with the correct refrigerant for your vehicle. It takes longer than a straight regas, but it's the only approach that actually fixes the problem rather than delaying it.

If your aircon has been losing performance gradually or stops cooling quickly after a previous regas, call Brett's team on (07) 4058 2543 and we'll find out why.
