Signs Your Air Conditioning Needs Attention
Consider booking an air conditioning service if you notice:
- Reduced cooling performance or warm air from vents
- Unusual noises when the A/C system is running
- Unpleasant odours from the air vents
- A/C only works intermittently
- Excessive condensation or water inside the vehicle
- Dashboard warning lights related to climate control
- It's been more than two years since your last recharge
- Windows fogging up more than usual
Regular air conditioning maintenance prevents more serious issues and helps maintain the system's efficiency and performance.
The Importance of Regular Air Conditioning Service
Many drivers don't realise that car air conditioning requires regular maintenance:
- Natural refrigerant loss of approximately 10-15% per year occurs in all systems
- Bacteria and mould can build up in the system, causing unpleasant odours and health issues
- System components can deteriorate over time if not regularly used and maintained
- Early detection of leaks prevents complete system failure and more expensive repairs
- Proper cooling reduces driver fatigue and improves concentration
- Efficient demisting is crucial for safe winter driving
We recommend an air conditioning service every two years to maintain optimal performance and prevent costly repairs.
Our Air Conditioning Service Process
- Initial performance test to assess cooling efficiency and system operation
- System pressure check to identify potential leaks or blockages
- Recovery of old refrigerant in compliance with environmental regulations
- Vacuum testing to ensure system integrity before recharging
- Addition of UV dye to help detect future leaks
- Recharging with fresh refrigerant to the exact manufacturer specification
- Addition of compressor oil to ensure proper lubrication
- Final performance test to verify improved cooling efficiency
