Frequently Asked Questions
If those blasts of chilled air aren’t quite hitting the spot anymore and it takes longer to reach the desired temperature, the culprit could be a lack of refrigerant, a clogged expansion tube, broken compressor, damaged condenser or evaporator or a faulty fuse or switch. The most common air conditioning problem is a lack of gas – generally speaking your vehicle’s AC should be re-gassed every two years.
Moisture is a critical sign that you need an urgent air-con service or repair. If there’s AC water leaking in your car (e.g. coming from a vent or leaving a wet patch in the passenger footwell), don’t wait. Water can cause further damage elsewhere, so it’s best to get it seen to before more extensive repairs are required.
The last thing you want is to smell odd odours emanating from your car, which can be attributed to a multitude of things, and an air conditioning unit in need of repair is one of them. If your car AC smells unpleasant, it might signal the air filter or wiring is worn and needs replacing.
Regular servicing of your car’s air conditioning system is recommended every 1-2 years, or as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. This helps ensure optimal performance and prevents potential issues that can arise from lack of maintenance.
Signs that your car’s air conditioning system may need servicing include reduced cooling performance, unusual odors or noises when the system is running, and visible leaks or moisture around AC components. If you notice any of these signs, it’s advisable to have the system checked by a professional.
Yes, an air conditioning service typically includes cleaning or replacing filters, which can significantly improve air quality inside the car by removing dust, pollen, and other contaminants. This is especially beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
While DIY kits are available, it’s generally recommended to have AC re-gassing done by a qualified technician. DIY attempts often introduce contaminants into the system, which can cause damage and require costly repairs. Professional servicing ensures proper refrigerant levels and system integrity.
