Air conditioning repair and servicing

Air conditioning is standard in over two thirds of new cars and many of us are accustomed to how well they keep the car cool during hot summer months. However it is not widely known that the air conditioning unit, like other parts of your vehicle, needs regular servicing to keep it running at its optimum level. To ensure that your air conditioning is working effectively it should be serviced every two years.

Maintain your air conditioning unit

A correctly maintained air conditioning unit is not only useful in ensuring driver and passenger comfort but also:

Keeps the window free of condensation, through drier air
Reduces the level of fumes and other pollutants entering the vehicle
Prevents allergens entering the vehicle

The average air conditioning unit will lose up to 10-15% of its efficiency each year, and as it is not generally part of the annual service, it can be easily overlooked.
