Trusted by drivers from Hethersett and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage serves the whole Norfolk area.
The fast A11 commute from Hethersett into Norwich covers ground quickly, but the slip road joins and dual carriageway merges at speed mean the compressor works hard. When refrigerant is low the system simply cannot cool the cabin to the temperature you set. Our regas process recovers the old gas, pulls a vacuum to test for leaks and remove moisture, adds UV dye for future fault-finding, and recharges to precise factory weight.
Hethersett's growing community on the A11/B1172 corridor includes many young families making regular trips into Norwich for work, school and shopping. The A11 southbound queue on a warm summer afternoon in a car that will not cool down is a real problem, particularly for parents with young children in the back. Newer vehicles in the Hethersett development are often still on their original refrigerant charge and due for their first regas after two to three years.
We service both R134a and R1234yf refrigerant systems, recovering old gas, testing for leaks, evacuating moisture with a deep vacuum and recharging to the correct specification. UV dye is added on every regas. From Hethersett, take the A11 north-east into Norwich and follow signs to Ber Street, NR1 3ES, around 5 miles. Call 07933 900901 to book your regas appointment.
Hethersett drivers cover real distance on the A11 and B1172, and the family SUVs common here lean on their air conditioning through long, hot summer runs. Cooling that fades on the journey home is the sign the refrigerant has dropped below par. We recharge to the manufacturer's specification so the system holds up across the whole commute, not just the first ten minutes.
Hethersett motorists trust us because we combine convenience with proper professional air con servicing, not a quick top-up.
Vehicles from Hethersett used for the the B1172 and A47 commute as well as local village journeys benefit from a well-functioning air conditioning system year-round. The damp conditions of Norfolk B-roads in autumn and winter make an efficient demister as practically important as summer cooling.
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 Hethersett 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.
Yes; the family SUVs here lean hard on their air con over long A11 and B1172 summer runs, and Hethersett is only about 5 miles via the B1172. We recharge to manufacturer specification.
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.
If the system is simply low on refrigerant, yes. If there is an underlying fault, a failing compressor, a blocked expansion valve, or a significant leak, a regas will improve cooling temporarily but the fault will need diagnosing separately.
A musty smell is usually bacterial growth on the evaporator matrix, not a refrigerant issue. We can treat the evaporator with an anti-bacterial cleaner, call us and we'll advise on combining this with your regas.
A flashing or illuminated air con warning light usually indicates the system has detected a fault, which can range from low refrigerant to a failed component. Bring the car in and we'll diagnose the fault and advise you on what's needed.
Yes, we carry out air con regas on all makes and models of petrol and diesel cars, as well as most vans and SUVs. We carry both R134a and R1234yf refrigerant, covering virtually every vehicle on the road today.
