Is your car air conditioning blowing warm instead of cold? You’re not alone — this is one of the most common issues drivers face, especially during the warmer months. At Brooklands Auto Centre in Wellington, Telford, we offer fast, affordable air con regas and repairs to get your system cooling properly again.
Why Is My Car Air Conditioning Warm?
There are several reasons your air conditioning might stop working, including:
- Low refrigerant gas (needs a regas)
- Compressor failure
- Faulty pressure switch or sensor
- Blocked condenser or dirty cabin filter
- Leaks in the system
In most cases, the fix is simple — your air con system just needs a re-gas.
How Often Should You Regas Your Air Con?
Manufacturers recommend an air con regas every 2 years. Over time, refrigerant naturally escapes from the system, which means it won’t cool effectively or operate efficiently.
5 Signs You Need an Air Con Service
- Warm air from the vents
- Bad smells or musty odours when using air con
- System takes longer than usual to cool the cabin
- Windows take longer to demist
- Increased fuel consumption

Should You Use Air Con in Winter?
Yes! Running your air con in winter helps remove moisture from the air, making it easier to demist windows. It also helps keep seals lubricated and prevents system components from seizing.
