Why Vehicle Air Conditioning Matters Year-Round
Most people think of car air conditioning as a summer luxury, but it serves an important function in all seasons. In summer, it keeps the cabin cool and comfortable. In winter and wet weather, running the air conditioning helps dehumidify the cabin air — which is why turning on the A/C is the fastest way to clear a fogged windscreen.
Vehicle air conditioning systems use refrigerant that naturally escapes over time through minor permeation. This means the system gradually loses cooling capacity. Regular servicing — typically every 2 years — helps maintain performance and identify any leaks before they cause bigger problems.
BPS Automotive holds ARC Repairer Licence AU42105. This is a mandatory requirement in Australia for any business handling motor vehicle air conditioning refrigerants.

Air Conditioning FAQs
How do I know if my car air conditioning needs regassing?
Common signs include the air conditioning blowing warm air or not cooling as well as it used to, a musty or unusual smell from the vents, or the system taking longer than normal to cool the cabin. Air conditioning systems naturally lose a small amount of refrigerant over time.
How often should I have my car air conditioning serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend having vehicle air conditioning serviced every 2 years. Regular servicing helps maintain efficiency, identifies small leaks before they become large ones, and ensures the system is running with correct refrigerant charge.
What is included in an air conditioning regas?
A regas typically involves removing old refrigerant, checking the system for leaks, and refilling the system to the correct charge with new refrigerant. A full air conditioning service may also include checking system pressures, lubricating the compressor, and inspecting belts and hoses.
Is your workshop licensed to handle vehicle refrigerants?
Yes. BPS Automotive holds ARC Repairer Licence AU42105. In Australia, you must be a licensed ARC-registered technician or business to purchase and handle motor vehicle air conditioning refrigerants.
Does the car air conditioning help in winter?
Yes. Vehicle air conditioning does more than just cool the car in summer. In winter, running the air conditioning helps remove humidity from the cabin air, which clears a foggy windscreen much faster. It's worth keeping your aircon in good working order year-round.
