Time to check your air con? We’ve got you covered
If your air conditioning is working properly it can help to filter out pollen, pollutants and airborne bacteria!
Over time your cars air conditioning system can lose refrigerant gas, especially when they aren’t used regularly. It’s recommended to have your air con serviced every two years to keep the systems clean and ensure your car remains cool during the hot summer months!
Most people use their air conditioning throughout the summer, when the weather is hotter. Air conditioning however, is also useful in the winter as you can use it to de-mist your windows by circulating the warm, dry air throughout your vehicle.
Our Mercedes trained technicians will drain and refill the unit and carry out a detailed inspection, to ensure your air conditioning performs at its best.
This is where we use an anti-bacterial treatment which cleans the system ensuring the air you are breathing is fresh. We recommend this treatment annually, it is especially beneficial for people with hay fever or asthma.
Around 10% of refrigerant gas can seep out of the air conditioning system each year. If there is too little in the system, not only can it cause it to not operate effectively, but it could potentially lead to internal system damage. An air conditioning service involves recharging the system with gas and lubricant as well as removing all moisture and debris.
A full air conditioning service includes a refrigerant recharge and replacement of the lubricating oil as well as a full check of all system components. A recharged system will reduce your fuel consumption by putting less strain on the engine and keep you cool in summer and mist free in the winter.
