Air Conditioner Regassing

 

Your car's air conditioning system requires regular maintenance, much like changing oil and air filters. Proper maintenance is crucial for several reasons:

 

1. Refrigerant Loss: Due to natural leakage through slightly porous pipes, most A/C systems lose about 15-20% of refrigerant annually, leading to decreased efficiency.

  

2. Health Concerns: Bacteria and fungi can grow in car A/C systems, causing allergies such as hay fever, skin irritations, runny noses, and itchy eyes.

 

3. Mechanical Strain: A poorly maintained A/C system can strain the compressor, potentially causing it to wear out faster. This can increase fuel consumption and draw more engine power.

 

Regular servicing, ideally annually, is recommended to ensure your A/C system operates efficiently. Look out for these signs indicating a potential issue:

- Delayed cooling of the interior

- Increased fuel consumption

- Slow defogging of the windscreen

 

Our air conditioning service includes:

- Leak testing

- Evacuation and recharge of refrigerant

- Cleaning and deodorizing the entire system

 

If you notice a musty smell in your car, it often indicates the need for thorough cleaning with a de-fungicide.
