Air Con systems will tend to lose refrigerant over time as refrigerant permeates through the physical joints between components. In normal working conditions all automotive Air Con systems will lose about 10% to 15% of refrigerant each year which is considered natural leakage. Within an Air Con system the compressor lubricating oil is suspended within the refrigerant gas. Letting the system run low on refrigerant can lead to extensive wear and even serious component failure.

Ideally, it should be run all the time. It is false economy to turn the system off in the winter. This can lead to deterioration of the seals and gaskets in your system and, even more rapid refrigerant loss. Air Con should be used during winter as it is the most effective way to ensure that the windows are demisted and the interior of the car is comfortable.

This indicates that there may be a small leak. Over time refrigerant will work its way out, this will happen in a healthy system let alone a system which has recently required filling or re-gassing for the first time. In these situations we place a UV tracker dye into the system. The UV dye shows up under a bright UV light source, allowing for identification of any current leaks present in the system or if future leaks were to develop.
