❄️ Why Is My Car Air Con Blowing Warm Air? It Might Just Need a Regas
By Andrews Car Centre – Air Conditioning Specialists in Lincoln
You switch on your car’s air con expecting a blast of cool air… but instead, you get lukewarm or hot air blowing in your face. Sound familiar?
Don’t worry — you’re not alone. At Andrews Car Centre in Lincoln, this is one of the most common issues we see, especially as the weather warms up. And in many cases, the solution is simple: your air con system just needs a regas.
Here’s what’s going on — and how we can help.
🧊 Why Your Air Con Blows Warm Air
Your car’s air conditioning relies on a refrigerant gas to cool the air. Over time, this gas naturally leaks out of the system — often by around 10% a year, even with no major fault.
When the gas runs low:
-
The system can’t cool the air properly
-
The compressor may switch off to protect itself
-
The cabin air stays warm or room temperature
Even a minor drop in gas level can reduce performance — so if your air con is blowing warm, it doesn’t always mean there’s a serious fault.
🔍 Other Signs You Might Need a Regas
Besides warm air, you might also notice:
-
Air takes longer than usual to cool down
-
Intermittent cooling — it works, then doesn’t
-
Fogged-up windows not clearing easily
-
Higher fuel usage when air con is on (compressor straining)
-
The A/C light flashes or switches off unexpectedly
If you're seeing any of these signs around Lincoln or nearby, it’s time to get your system checked.
