Why regassing and an AC service matters

A properly maintained air conditioning system ensures comfort, prevents costly failures, and extends the life of your AC components.

Running your AC at least once a month keeps the system lubricated and operating efficiently. 

In winter, it improves visibility by helping to clear and demist your windows. 

Manufacturers generally recommend replacing cabin filters and servicing or regassing your vehicle's AC every 2 years to maintain optimal performance and reliability. 

A small regular service like this can make a big difference in both performance and reliability. 

Our regas service includes

✔    100% new refrigerant from certified suppliers — we never reuse or mix with recovered gas, which can cause long-term issues to your vehicle

✔    Work performed by an Approved Filler certified by a WorkSafe Authorised Compliance Certifier  

✔    Professional leak detection & pressure test - ensures you don't require a regas in every 6 to 12 months

✔    New refrigerant added to the manufacturer’s specified fill capacity

✔    Mobile service — we come to you, saving you time and money

✔    Full system vacuum & hold test

✔    AC performance and diagnostic check

✔    Cabin filter inspection & recommendation

✔    Warranty-backed service and expert support 

We only charge systems with new refrigerant. Any gas we recover is sent to a specialist company that separates out contamination and re‑purifies it, rather than burning it off. We don’t reuse recovered gas to make an extra dollar or risk long‑term damage to your vehicle.

MAX AC sources refrigerant from reputable suppliers who guarantee 99.9% purity. Not all gas entering New Zealand meets that standard, which is why the EU now tightly controls refrigerant imports to protect consumers and equipment.

It’s worth asking your automotive A/C service provider whether they use new gas, recovered gas, or who supplied it. Recovered or cheap refrigerant carries real risks. We’re not a “top‑up” service either — topping up adds another layer of unknowns and can hide underlying faults

Repair Costs

MAX AC provides competitive repair estimates before any work begins.

We use quality parts from trusted suppliers who back their products with solid warranties — because your peace of mind matters. 

Leaking AC Hose

An estimate will be provided, as costs vary depending on the time required to remove, repair, and refit the leaking hose assembly. 

In some cases, complete hose assemblies can be sourced second-hand.
