Modern cars are more efficient, advanced, and environmentally friendly than ever before — including their air conditioning systems. If your car is less than ten years old, it’s likely equipped with an R1234yf refrigerant system, designed to provide superior cooling while reducing environmental impact.
At Faversham Tyres, we offer a specialist R1234yf air conditioning regas service for drivers across Faversham and Kent. Whether your air conditioning has stopped blowing cold air, feels sluggish, or hasn’t been serviced in a while, our experienced technicians can restore its performance quickly and safely. We use state-of-the-art equipment designed specifically for R1234yf systems and follow manufacturer procedures to ensure precise, reliable results.
Our goal is to keep your car’s air conditioning system working efficiently year-round — delivering the comfort you expect, whatever the weather.
R1234yf is the latest generation of refrigerant gas used in automotive air conditioning systems. It replaced R134a, the previous industry standard. The key difference lies in environmental performance: R1234yf has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 4, compared to R134a’s 1,430, making it over 99% less harmful to the atmosphere.
Since 2017, all new vehicles sold in the UK and Europe use R1234yf refrigerant. It delivers the same cooling power and reliability as older systems but with a significantly lower environmental footprint.
Because R1234yf operates under different pressures and uses unique fittings, it requires dedicated servicing equipment and trained professionals. Incorrect servicing can lead to damage, leaks, or poor performance — making professional garages like Faversham Tyres essential.
The system circulates refrigerant through a closed loop. As the gas compresses and expands, it absorbs heat from inside the cabin and releases it outside, producing cool air.
Over time, small amounts of refrigerant escape, causing cooling performance to drop. Low refrigerant levels can overheat or damage the compressor — an expensive repair preventable with regular maintenance.
We recommend servicing or regassing your air conditioning every two years to maintain efficiency, protect components, and ensure optimal performance.
You leave with an air conditioning system that performs exactly as it should — crisp, cold air whenever you need it.
Servicing modern air conditioning systems requires skill, specialised tools, and attention to detail. Our technicians are fully trained in handling R1234yf refrigerant and follow strict safety procedures. Regular training ensures up-to-date knowledge of hybrid and electric vehicle AC systems.
Our Faversham workshop is equipped with the latest diagnostic and servicing equipment, delivering precise, efficient, and professional results every time. We’re a trusted local business known for honesty, quality, and customer satisfaction.
R1234yf refrigerant has a GWP 99.7% lower than R134a. All recovered refrigerants are handled, recycled, or disposed of following DEFRA and F-Gas regulations. Every service supports cleaner, greener motoring in the local community.
We provide upfront quotes including labour, refrigerant, and oil top-ups. Any additional repairs are explained clearly, with no hidden charges or upselling. Our full-service garage can handle extra AC repairs, compressor replacements, cabin filters, and antibacterial treatments on-site.
If your car’s air conditioning isn’t performing, don’t wait. Most services take less than an hour, with same-day or next-day appointments available.
