Manufacturers recommend recharging your car or van air conditioning every two years. Because your air con isn’t checked as part of your MOT and is often not included in a standard service, it’s important to schedule recharges as part of your regular vehicle maintenance.
If your AC is blowing warm air, working intermittently, or emitting unpleasant smells from the vents, it’s a sign your system may need attention. Recharging your air con can restore cold air, improve fuel efficiency by reducing strain on the system, and ensure a more comfortable drive during hot weather.
