DID YOU KNOW? Over 90% of new cars are fitted with air conditioning! Whether it is a basic system with manual control or the latest tri-zone climate control system our f-gas certified staff have the experience to service and repair your air conditioning system. Air conditioning systems should be serviced every 2 years to ensure correct and efficient operation. WHY SERVICE AIR CONDITIONING? • Maintains correct and efficient operation • Save fuel! Low gas content can cause the compressor to work harder and therefore use more fuel • Air conditioning should be used at least every week to keep the systems seals and components lubricated • Air conditioning should be used during the winter months too as it removes the moisture from the cabin therefore helping to clear the windscreen and improve visibility • Pollen filters prevent harmful contaminants from entering the cabin and should be replaced at least every 2 years (more often under unfavourable conditions) • If your air con system smells musty or unpleasant then this indicates that it requires a ‘sanitisation service’ this is due to bacteria building up on the surface of the evaporator which can lead to legionnaires and other respiratory diseases if left untre [...]
