Ensure optimal comfort and system efficiency with our specialized air-conditioning re-gassing services tailored for hybrid and electric vehicles.

Our expert technicians utilize the latest equipment and adhere to manufacturer specifications to maintain your vehicle’s air-conditioning system at peak performance.

When it comes to hybrid and electric vehicles (EVS), air-conditioning systems function differently compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.

Understanding the System
Hybrid and electric vehicles often use electric compressors for their air-conditioning systems. Unlike traditional vehicles that rely on engine-driven compressors, these systems can operate independently of the engine,
allowing for efficient cooling even when the vehicle is idle.

Re-Gassing Process
• Inspection
Before re-gassing, a thorough inspection is conducted to identify any leaks or issues within the air-conditioning system. This typically involves checking hoses, connections, and seals.

• Recovery
The existing refrigerant is safely recovered using specialized equipment. This step is crucial to prevent refrigerant from being released into the atmosphere, complying with environmental regulations.

• Vacuuming
After recovery, the system is vacuumed to remove moisture and air. This step helps prevent damage to the system and ensures optimal performance.

• Re-Gassing
Fresh refrigerant is added to the system, typically R-134a or R-1234yf, depending on the vehicle’s requirements. The correct amount of refrigerant is critical for efficient operation.

Special Considerations
• Type of Refrigerant
We ensure the correct refrigerant is used for the specific hybrid or electric vehicle, as using the wrong type can damage the system.

• System Design
Some hybrids and EVs may have unique air- conditioning designs that require specialized knowledge and equipment for servicing.

• Environmental Impact
Emphasize the importance of handling refrigerants responsibly, as they can contribute to global warming if not managed correctly.

Maintenance Tips

  • We recommend you Regularly check the air-conditioning system for performance issues.
  • Schedule re-gassing every 1-2 years, or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
  • Ensure that any repairs or maintenance work is performed by qualified technicians familiar with hybrid and electric vehicle systems.

Benefits of Profesional Maintenance

  • Improved efficiency and performance of the air-conditioning system.
  • Enhanced comfort for passengers, especially during extreme weather conditions.
  • Potentially lower energy consumption, which is particularly important for electric vehicles.
