Most car owners and many service centres, do not appreciate that if a car air conditioning system is not correctly maintained on a
regular basis, there is a risk of system damage or even
a complete vehicle breakdown. Air conditioning systems
contain potentially harmful CFC or HFC gases under very
high pressures. Exposure to the refrigerant can cause
cold burns and blindness.
Servicing of a vehicle air
conditioner is recommended every 12 months. This is due
to the fact that most systems will lose gas slowly
through hoses, O/rings and spinning shaft seal etc.
Moisture can also be absorbed through hoses and gas loss
and filters can block with debris
An air conditioning service
involves connecting service gauges and running air
conditioning to check pressure, system performance, etc.
Degassing and evacuating system if required and
re-gassing to correct gas level. We also check hoses for
possible wear or leakage, belt tension, condition of
compressor, condenser filter etc. and overall
performance
