Signs Your AC System Needs Attention

Reduced Cooling: If your AC is not cooling as effectively as it used to, or takes longer to reach the desired temperature, it may need servicing or repair.

Strange Noises: Unusual sounds when the AC is running, such as grinding, squealing, or clicking noises, often indicate component problems that need professional attention.

Unpleasant Odours: Musty or unusual smells from your AC system can indicate mould growth or other issues that require cleaning and maintenance.

Visible Leaks: Puddles of coolant under your vehicle or visible refrigerant leaks indicate system damage that needs immediate professional repair.

AC Service Information & Environmental Responsibility

Environmental Considerations

We take environmental responsibility seriously when servicing AC systems:

  • Safe recovery and recycling of old refrigerants
  • Proper disposal of AC components and filters
  • Use of eco-friendly R1234yf refrigerant where applicable
  • Leak prevention to minimise environmental impact

AC System Efficiency

A well-maintained AC system not only provides comfort but also improves fuel efficiency. A faulty AC system can increase fuel consumption by up to 20%, especially during summer months when the system works hardest.

Regular servicing ensures your AC system operates at peak efficiency, saving you money on fuel costs and reducing your vehicle's environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Services

How often should I service my car's air conditioning?

We recommend having your AC system serviced annually, ideally before the summer season. This ensures optimal performance when you need it most and helps identify potential issues before they become expensive problems.

Why is my air conditioning not cooling properly?

Poor cooling can be caused by several factors including low refrigerant levels, compressor problems, blocked condensers, or faulty temperature sensors. Our diagnostic service can identify the exact cause and recommend the appropriate solution.

How long does an AC service take?

A standard AC service typically takes 1-2 hours, while more complex repairs may take longer. We'll provide you with an accurate time estimate when we diagnose your system and explain what work is needed.

What's the difference between R134a and R1234yf refrigerants?

R1234yf is the newer, more environmentally friendly refrigerant used in vehicles manufactured after 2017. R134a is the older refrigerant still used in many vehicles. We can service both types and will use the correct refrigerant for your specific vehicle.

Can I run my AC in winter?

Yes, and we actually recommend running your AC system briefly each week throughout the year. This keeps the system lubricated, prevents seals from drying out, and helps clear condensation from windows more effectively.

How do I know if my AC system has a refrigerant leak?

Signs of refrigerant leaks include reduced cooling performance, visible oil stains under the vehicle, hissing sounds from the AC system, or ice formation on AC components. Our leak detection service can locate and repair leaks professionally.
