Trusted by drivers from Acle and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage serves the whole Norfolk area.
The 11-mile A47 run from Acle into Norwich puts your air conditioning through its paces, especially on warm summer days when the dual carriageway offers no shade. Refrigerant levels drop naturally over time, and once the system loses around 15 percent of its charge the cooling output falls noticeably. We recover the remaining gas, vacuum-test for leaks, add UV dye and recharge to manufacturer spec so your cabin stays comfortable on every commute.
Drivers commuting from Acle into Norwich cover 11 miles each way along the A47 dual carriageway, and in summer that is a significant stretch of open-road driving where a working air conditioning system matters greatly. Agricultural and trade vans operating out of the Broads catchment are notorious for neglected air con; refrigerant leaks gradually over time and the system fails completely right when it is needed most, typically on the warmest days of July and August.
We service both R134a and R1234yf refrigerant systems, recover remaining gas, test for leaks, pull a deep vacuum to remove moisture, then recharge to the manufacturer's specification. UV dye is added to every regas so future leaks are easy to pinpoint. The whole process takes around 45-60 minutes. From Acle, take the A47 westbound into Norwich and follow signs to Ber Street, NR1 3ES. Call 07933 900901 to book your regas appointment.
Air conditioning fails gradually and then suddenly: refrigerant seeps away unnoticed until the first genuinely hot day exposes it, often mid-commute on a shadeless stretch of the A47. Running the system when it is already low makes the compressor work harder and risks an expensive failure. A regas before summer keeps the cooling strong and the compressor protected.
The drive from Acle is worth it for a proper professional regas. We test, vacuum and recharge your system correctly rather than guessing.
Rural vehicles from Acle doing longer runs on the A47 benefit significantly from a functioning air conditioning system for both comfort and safety. A well-maintained system also reduces the risk of windscreen fogging during the temperature changes common on rural routes in early morning and evening driving.
We carry out a full air conditioning service using dedicated A/C equipment. The process begins by recovering any remaining refrigerant, then pulling the system into a vacuum to check for leaks. If the vacuum holds, we recharge to the manufacturer's specified weight using the correct refrigerant, either R134a for vehicles registered before 2017 or R1234yf for newer models. UV dye is added to assist with any future leak detection. The full process takes 45 to 60 minutes.
For Acle drivers, we recommend an air conditioning service every two years. If your system blows warm air, produces a musty smell on start-up, or runs the compressor continuously without cooling to the set temperature, it is likely due for attention. A working air conditioning system also supports the demister, making it a practical safety item in autumn and winter as well as summer. Call 07933 900901 to book.
Take the A47 west into Norwich, about 11 miles and 15 minutes, then follow the ring road to Ber Street, NR1 3ES. A pre-summer regas is well worth it before the shadeless A47 commute heats up.
Most systems need a regas every 2-3 years as refrigerant gradually permeates through seals and hoses. If your AC has stopped cooling effectively or takes longer than usual to reach temperature, it likely needs a regas.
Around 45-60 minutes, including the leak check, refrigerant recovery, vacuum test and recharge to the correct specification.
Yes, we pressure-test and vacuum-test the system before recharging. We can also add UV dye to the refrigerant that makes any future leak source visible under UV light.
In most cases, yes. A regas is a relatively inexpensive service, and even older vehicles benefit from a working air con system, not just for comfort, but because air conditioning also helps demist windows quickly in winter. We'll check the system before committing to a regas and advise you honestly if there's a more significant underlying issue.
A regas typically keeps the system fully effective for two to three years under normal conditions. If there's a small leak in the system, it may not last as long, which is why we always include leak detection and UV dye as part of our service.
