Air conditioning servicing

Air conditioning services are available at a cost of £75.00 + vat. In addition to this a deodoriser treatment can be installed to banish odours and germs from the system, this costs an additional £15.50 + vat. During an air conditioning service, if found to be necessary, the pollen filter would also be replaced, at additional cost. Costs vary from vehicle to vehicle.

Why service air conditioning systems?

• Air conditioning systems will lose 10% of their refrigerant every 12 months. This drastically affects the performance of the system and increases fuel consumption.
• Poor servicing of air conditioning systems causes hay fever, skin irritations, runny noses and itchy eyes.
• If not serviced regularly your air conditioning system will put a strain on the conditioning compressor, in turn this will place further requirement on the engine to run the system (approx 5 horse power is lost through this process!) This of course drastically increases fuel consumption.
• Fungi and bacteria grow in car air conditioning systems causing all kinds of irritations, allergic reactions and bad smells.
• Air conditioning manufacturers recommend the system should be serviced every 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Using the latest air conditioning service equipment you will remove acid, moisture, particulates and air from the refrigerant and air conditioning system, test for leaks and charge the exact amount of refrigerant for optimum performance. Also the refrigerant will be recycled and used again.

Servicing air conditioning is essential preventative maintenance, as it is with engines. If this is not done the system WILL fail.

The typical cost of an air conditioning compressor is £600. Can you afford not to do it?
