Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about vehicle AC regas, leak diagnosis, compressor testing, hydrogen leak testing, mobile service and bookings with FreezePoint.

Not sure what your vehicle needs?

If your car AC is not blowing cold, losing gas, making unusual noises or not switching on, FreezePoint can help diagnose the issue and advise the best next step.

How do I know if my vehicle AC needs a regas?

Common signs include warm air from the vents, weak cooling, the AC taking too long to cool, or the system not feeling as cold as it used to. A regas may help if the system is low on refrigerant, but if there is a leak, diagnosis may be needed first.

Can you regas my AC if there is a leak?

If the system has a leak or cannot hold pressure, it may not be suitable to simply refill it. A leak diagnosis or pressure test may be required before regassing. This helps avoid wasting gas and helps identify the cause of the issue properly.

What is hydrogen leak testing?

Hydrogen leak testing is used to help detect leaks in a vehicle air conditioning system. It can be useful when a system is losing gas or when a small leak is difficult to find using basic checks.

Do you offer mobile vehicle AC service?

How long does an AC regas usually take?

Timing can vary depending on the vehicle and the condition of the AC system. A straightforward regas is usually quicker than a full diagnosis or leak test. If there is a fault, leak or compressor issue, extra testing may be required.

What if my AC stops working again after a regas?

If the AC stops cooling again soon after a regas, this can indicate a leak or another fault in the system. In that case, leak diagnosis, pressure testing or compressor diagnosis may be required.

Can you diagnose compressor problems?

Yes. FreezePoint offers compressor diagnosis and AC fault finding to help identify weak, faulty or non-operating compressor issues, along with related system faults.

Should I book a regas or a diagnosis?

If your AC is simply not as cold as before, a regas may be suitable. If the system has lost gas quickly, is not holding pressure, makes unusual noises, or has stopped working completely, a diagnosis may be the better first step.
