Frequently Asked Questions

A car air conditioning (AC) service and repair typically entail a thorough examination of the AC system components, such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and refrigerant lines. Worn-out or faulty components may be replaced, and if necessary, the refrigerant may be recharged. The overall system functionality is inspected, including checking for leaks, assessing the condition of the AC filter, and ensuring proper pressure levels. The service may also involve cleaning or replacing the cabin air filter for optimal air quality. The final step often includes a test to ensure that the AC system is operating efficiently and delivering cool air for a comfortable driving experience.

It’s generally recommended to service your car’s air conditioning (AC) system every 1-2 years to ensure it remains in optimal condition. Regular servicing helps maintain the efficiency of the system, ensures proper cooling performance, and helps prevent potential issues such as leaks or component failures. If you notice any signs of AC problems, such as reduced cooling or unusual noises, it’s advisable to have the system checked by a professional technician promptly.

Several signs can indicate that your car’s AC system needs servicing or repairs:

  1. Reduced Cooling: If the air blowing from your vents isn’t as cold as it used to be, it could indicate low refrigerant levels, a faulty compressor, or other issues.
  2. Weak Airflow: If you notice weak airflow from the vents, it could be due to a clogged air filter, a failing blower motor, or duct blockages.
  3. Strange Noises: Unusual noises such as squealing, grinding, or banging when the AC is running may indicate belt issues, compressor problems, or other mechanical issues.
  4. Foul Odours: A musty or foul odour coming from the vents when the AC is on could indicate mould or bacterial growth in the system, which requires cleaning and disinfection.
  5. Leaks: Visible leaks under the car or around the AC components can indicate refrigerant or oil leaks, which need to be addressed promptly to prevent further damage.
  6. AC System Cycling: If the AC system frequently turns on and off, known as short cycling, it could indicate issues with the compressor or refrigerant levels.
  7. Dashboard Warning Lights: Some cars have AC-related warning lights that may illuminate if there is a problem with the system. If a warning light comes on, it’s important to have the system inspected.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s advisable to have your car’s AC system inspected by a qualified technician to diagnose and address the issue promptly.

Regular air conditioning (AC) maintenance for your vehicle offers numerous benefits, including optimal cooling performance, prevention of major issues through early detection and resolution of minor problems, extended lifespan of the AC system, improved air quality inside the vehicle by removing dust and pollutants, enhanced energy efficiency leading to potential fuel savings, a more comfortable driving experience, especially during hot weather or long journeys, and prevention of mould and bacteria buildup for cleaner, healthier air circulation.
