Under the Hood: Aircon

There is nothing more refreshing than stepping into a cool, air-conditioned vehicle. But did you know that just like other parts of your car, your air conditioning system needs regular maintenance to function at its best?

What is an Aircon Service?

An aircon service, also known as an air conditioning service, is a comprehensive check and maintenance procedure for your vehicle’s air conditioning system. This service ensures that the system is working efficiently and effectively. It includes:

• Checking the refrigerant levels and refilling if necessary.
• Inspecting and cleaning the condenser to ensure it’s free from any blockages.
• Evaluating the system’s seals and hoses for any potential leaks.
• Assessing the compressor and other components for proper function.

Benefits of an Aircon Service:

1. Optimal Cooling: Regular servicing ensures your aircon cools your vehicle efficiently, providing relief from the heat.
2. Improved Air Quality: Over time, bacteria and fungi can build up in the air conditioning system. A service cleans out these contaminants, ensuring you breathe cleaner, fresher air.
3. Cost Savings: Detecting and fixing issues early can prevent more expensive repairs down the line.
4. Eco-friendly: A well-maintained aircon system uses less energy and reduces the emission of greenhouse gases.

When Should You Have It Done?

While it’s a good idea to refer to your vehicle’s manual for specific guidelines, we generally recommend having your air conditioning system serviced every two years. If you notice reduced cooling, a musty smell when the aircon is on, or any unusual noises, it might be time for a service.
