I use my air con (climate control) in the winter more than in the summer -
the 'dry' air that comes out of the air-con unit is better for demisting!
The original charge was starting to fail after 5 years, so I got it
re-gassed at Kwik fit last year and it has already lost most of its cool
already. So I don't know if that is age, or if the Kwik fit re-gass kit
was
a cheap and nasty job.
I believe halfords also do re-gassing, but I don't go there any more after
nearly vented my anger at their 'service' by inserting a renault exhaust
up
the manager many years ago.
