Air Conditioning

We can carry out a full servicing of your vehicles air conditioning.

Many people are under the idea that your air conditioning system is for the Summer time and should not be used in the winter. This is NOT correct.

The facts are that you are supposed to run your Air Conditioning system at least once a week as a preventive maintenance measure. Why? The reason why is because when you operate the vehicles air condition system you are allowing the lubrication oils to circulate within the system. If the Air Conditioning pump is not operated the lubrication oil cannot circulate in the system, this will mean that your main parts along with the systems seals will not be lubricated. When your seals are not lubricated they become hard and brittle, this will create leaks in the circuit and this will result in a loss of refrigerant which will prevent your Air Conditioning from operating.

Another fact about Air Conditioning is we should always use it in the winter season too. The Air conditioning is an active safety system. The Air conditioning should be used to demist the inside of your windscreen during the cold seasons. When you are operating the Air Conditioning system it is drying the air as it enters the passenger compartment, this dry air will assist in the demisting of your windscreen more quickly and efficiently that your normal heating. The hot or cold setting of your heating system will not matter, once you’re A/C is operating your air will be dry along with hot or cold which ever your desire.
