About our air con products
Having a robust air conditioning system that can keep your car at the right temperature is absolutely crucial. That’s because:
- Being comfortable while driving can help you stay focused and alert on the roads.
- Controlling the internal temperature of your car can help improve visibility, for example if your windscreen fogs up.
That’s why, at Halfords, we stock a range of quality air conditioning products to ensure you’re properly equipped. Our range includes:
Air con refrigerant gas
The most commonly used gas to recharge your air con system is R-1234yf refrigerant gas, and that’s exactly what we sell at Halfords. This gas is good for the environment, having a lifespan of just 11 days, and it lubricates the compressor in your air con system to improve its lifespan.
Generally, you should be looking to re-gas your air con system every two years, as it naturally leaks gas over time.
Air con sealant
We also sell air con sealant from the leading brand STP. This handy product serves as a drying agent to eliminate moisture from your air con system, and can be applied to quickly seal any porous holes that may be causing gas to leak from your air con.
Air conditioning purifier
Halfords’ air con purifier works quickly and effectively to purify the air in your air conditioning system, eliminating bacteria and odour within 10 minutes.

Pop into your local Halfords Autocentre today and talk to one of our friendly experts about the air conditioning services we offer, or visit our air conditioning hub for more information.
Does air con use fuel?
Yes, it does - though only a little. When you switch on your car’s air con, it draws power from the engine, which can slightly lower your fuel efficiency. But the difference is usually so small that most people don’t notice it, especially when you’re enjoying a cooler, more comfortable drive on a hot day.
How do I recharge my car’s air con?
You’ve got two options: do it yourself or let a professional take care of it. If you’re going the DIY route, you’ll need the right type of refrigerant and a compatible re-gas kit. Not sure which one you need? Don’t worry, we’ve got everything you need online and in-store, and we’re always happy to help you find the right fit.
How long does an air con re-gas take?
On average, it takes about 45 minutes to an hour. That covers removing the old gas, topping up with fresh refrigerant, and checking for any leaks or issues. It’s a quick job, and if you book in at your local Halfords Autocentre, we’ll make sure your air con is working perfectly again in no time. Can’t make it to a garage? We also offer our air con re-gas service via Halfords Mobile Expert.
