Car Air Conditioning Servicing & Regas
Is your car air conditioning struggling to stay cool? Most manufacturers recommend an air con service every two years to keep the system running at peak efficiency. At Abacus Auto Services, we provide professional air conditioning regassing, leak detection, and antibacterial treatments for all makes and models.
Why Service Your Air Conditioning?
Your air conditioning unit loses approximately 10-15% of its refrigerant gas every year, which isn't typically checked during a standard MOT or service. A well-maintained system does more than just keep you cool in the summer, it also:
- Defrosts Faster: Drier air clears window condensation quickly in winter.
- Filters Pollutants: Reduces the level of fumes, dust, and pollen entering the cabin.
- Protects the Compressor: Regular servicing ensures the system is correctly lubricated, preventing expensive mechanical failures.
