R134a vs R1234yf Refrigerants
R134a Refrigerant: Used in vehicles manufactured before 2017. This is the traditional refrigerant that has been widely used for many years and is still perfectly safe and effective.
R1234yf Refrigerant: The newer, more environmentally friendly refrigerant used in vehicles manufactured from 2017 onwards. It has a much lower global warming potential than R134a.
Identification: We can identify which refrigerant your vehicle uses by checking the year of manufacture, VIN number, and system labels. Using the wrong refrigerant can damage your AC system.
Cost Difference: R1234yf is more expensive than R134a due to its newer technology and environmental benefits, but both provide excellent cooling performance.
Signs Your AC Needs Regas
Recognising when your air conditioning system needs a regas can help you maintain optimal cooling performance and prevent more expensive repairs:
- Reduced cooling: AC takes longer to cool or doesn't reach desired temperature
- Warm air: Air from vents is not as cold as it used to be
- Frequent cycling: AC compressor turns on and off more frequently
- Increased fuel consumption: AC system working harder to achieve cooling
- Ice formation: Ice appearing on AC components outside the vehicle
- Time-based: It's been 2+ years since your last regas service
