Air con regas: R134a vs R1234yf

Choose the correct refrigerant for your vehicle.

← Back to Blog ·

Weak cooling often means low refrigerant or a leak — not just “needs a top-up”. A professional service recovers remaining gas, vacuum-tests the system, then refills to specification.

R134a (“old gas”)

Common on many older vehicles. Equipment and gas costs differ from newer systems. We label this clearly on our price list.

R1234yf (“new gas”)

Required on a growing number of modern cars and hybrids. The gas and dedicated equipment cost more, but using the wrong refrigerant damages components and voids warranty coverage.
