Trusted by drivers from Loddon and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage serves the whole Norfolk area.
The 14-mile journey from Loddon along the A146 and B1332 passes through open countryside where summer temperatures inside the cabin can build up on longer stretches. HGV traffic on these roads often limits overtaking, keeping you behind slow-moving vehicles with windows up and air con working hard. Our full regas recovers old refrigerant, tests the system for leaks with UV dye, and recharges to manufacturer weight so the cooling actually reaches the temperature you set.
Loddon residents on the A146 face a 12-mile run into Norwich, and summer leisure trips to the Broads and surrounding Norfolk attractions are part of life in NR14. A working air conditioning system is essential for comfortable summer driving, whether that is the daily A146 commute or a family outing to the coast. Commercial operators in the Loddon area also rely on van AC for all-day deliveries in warm weather, and those systems often go unserviced until they fail entirely.
We recover, test and recharge R134a and R1234yf refrigerant systems, adding UV dye to every regas for easy future leak detection. The service takes 45-60 minutes. From Loddon, take the A146 north-west into Norwich and follow signs to Ber Street, NR1 3ES, approximately 12 miles. Call 07933 900901 to book your air conditioning regas.
Around Loddon, caravans, boats' tow cars and leisure vehicles spend long spells parked, and an air conditioning system left idle loses charge and dries its seals faster than one in daily use. Running it briefly year-round helps, and a regas before the season restores full cooling. We service both R134a and older and newer systems alike.
Drivers from Loddon make the trip to our Ber Street garage because they know the job will be done thoroughly, with honest advice included.
For drivers making the regular Loddon to Norwich commute via the A146, a properly recharged air conditioning system reduces driver fatigue on warmer days and provides reliable demisting in autumn and winter. We recommend a regas every two years to maintain efficiency on a system used regularly across a 12 miles south-east commute.
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 Loddon 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; we handle the campers and tow cars common around Loddon, whose systems lose charge sitting idle off-season. Loddon is about 12 miles via the A146, easily combined with a Norwich trip.
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.
Yes. Air conditioning is very effective at dehumidifying the cabin air, which dramatically speeds up window demisting in cold, damp weather. If your windows take a long time to clear in winter, a properly charged air con system can make a real difference.
We use a closed-loop recovery system that captures the old refrigerant during the service, nothing is vented into the atmosphere. The recovered refrigerant is either recycled or disposed of safely and in compliance with environmental regulations.
