Vehicle manufacturers recommend that Air Conditioning systems (AC & Climate Control) are serviced every two years, which should include cleaning the refrigerant gas and the lubricating oil, as well as carrying out a system leak test.

Over time the air conditioning gases in your car will escape from the AC or Climate Control system. This is because car air conditioning systems are designed to leak. The car's engine vibrates, pipework moves and the rubber 'O' rings expand and contract allowing leakage.

This forces the performance of the air conditioning system to gradually deteriorate. The system components are forced to work harder to compensate, leading to potentially catastrophic failure, which will almost certainly be expensive to repair.

As an example, a replacement air conditioning pump (compressor) can cost as much as £1000 from a main dealer.

An annual (12 month) service of your car air conditioning system at carcierge will help you avoid a potentially huge bill if things go wrong.

Please note:

1. It is important that your car air conditioning system is used throughout the year because the refrigerant actually carries the oil that lubricates the system, most importantly the compressor. It also keeps the seals and hoses moist, thus preventing them from drying out and cracking leading to leaks.

2. We use the latest AC regas, service and diagnostic technology to deliver a professional service designed to prevent expensive car air conditioning problems occuring in the future and to make your car's AC as cold as ice.

As part of our comprehensive air conditioning health check, service & regas, we'll test the system for leaks, measure the pressure & check all the components to ensure they are functioning correctly.

We then recover the old refrigerant and vacuum the system to a very low pressure to remove any moisture that might be present.

Finally we'll lubricate the system, Re-Charge (Re-Gas) the refrigerant to manufacturers recommended levels and inject a dye to help identify any future leaks should they occur.

Please get in touch on 01446 700142 and we'll get your cars AC system blowing as cold as ice again.

Bacteria thrives in your car's air conditioning system. This can have unpleasant effects on your health if untreated and over time will cause pungent adours in the cabin of your car.

If required, we can perform a comprehensive anti-bacterial and odour removal treatment to kill these harmful bacteria and remove any unwanted allergens.

This purification process will leave your AC system as fresh as a Spring morning.
