Air Conditioning
Here at Stourbridge MOT we are experts when it comes to Air Con.
The most common requirement is to service and re-charge the Air Con system to ensure your Air Con system is blowing cold.
To Recharge (re-gas) and Service your Air Con System, we will check for leaks, recharge your refrigerant, replenish the system's oil and remove all moisture and air. We also check the compressor, belts and hoses etc. If a fault is found, we can easily repair the issue.
Types of Gas
There are two types of gas that are used by car air con systems.
​
1. R-134a has been around since the early 1990's and is the older, less environmentally friendly gas.
2. R-1234YF started to be used in 2012 before being used in ALL cars from 2017. This gas was introduced as it cleaner gas than the former.
Pricing
Both gases incur a basic labour charge of £45.00
​
Then there is an additional charge for the amount of Air Con gas your car requires to operate which on average is approximately 500g.
​
The gas is charged 'by the gram' in weight and each gas is priced as follows
​
R-134A - £0.03 per gram
R-1234YF - £0.13 per gram
