Fareham Car Air Con Repair & Re-Gas
Your car’s air conditioning system does more than just cool the cabin on hot days—it also plays a crucial role in maintaining air quality inside your vehicle. When properly serviced, it filters out pollutants, pollen, and bacteria, ensuring cleaner, fresher air for you and your passengers. In addition, your air con system can provide warmth and defog windows, making it an all-season essential.
Despite its importance, air conditioning maintenance isn’t part of a standard car service schedule, which means it’s often overlooked. If your vehicle is over two years old or your air con hasn’t been checked recently, now might be a good time to book a service. Using your air conditioning regularly, even in colder months, can help keep the system lubricated and prevent leaks. Consider scheduling a check if:
- Your air con isn’t producing cool air.
- You detect unpleasant odours coming from the vents.
- It’s making unusual noises when running.
- You spot visible leaks under your car.
How Often Should You Recharge Your Air Con?
The refrigerant in your air conditioning system is vital for keeping it running efficiently, but it naturally diminishes over time. Most manufacturers recommend recharging the system every two years, regardless of how frequently you use it. A low refrigerant level reduces cooling efficiency and can lead to strain on other components. To keep your air con in top condition, regular re-gassing or servicing is essential.
What to Expect During an Air Con Service
An air conditioning recharge or service typically takes 30 minutes to an hour. The process includes:
- A thorough system check to identify any issues.
- Removing the old refrigerant.
- Refilling the system with fresh refrigerant.
- Conducting a vacuum test to check for cracks or leaks.
