Over time, air-con gas gradually depletes which means your system might not work as well as it should. Vehicle manufacturers suggest that air-con systems are recharged with gas and lubricant every 2 years. As a rule, this will not be checked in an average service, so if you've had your car for over 2 years, it may well need a top up.

Without a check, your air-con system will not only be less effective, it will also make your engine work harder which will result in using more fuel.
