AIR CONDITIONING FAQS
It’s advisable to have your vehicle’s air conditioning system recharged at least once every two years to maintain optimal efficiency.
Contrary to popular belief, air conditioning isn’t just for the summer months; it’s beneficial to run it periodically throughout the year, including winter. The dry, dehumidified air from your air conditioning system can clear your windshield much faster than warm air.
Before recharging an empty air conditioning system, we perform a nitrogen pressure test. Nitrogen, an inert gas that constitutes 78% of our atmosphere, is environmentally friendly and ideal for this purpose. This test helps us detect any leaks, which we then aim to precisely locate and provide a detailed repair estimate.
Even if your vehicle’s A/C system has the correct gas pressure, other faults could impair its functionality. We thoroughly test the system to diagnose the issue and provide a complete breakdown of the necessary repairs and their associated costs.
A flashing TPMS light indicates an issue with a sensor or the TPMS itself, necessitating professional attention. However, it’s wise to manually verify your tyre pressures in the meantime to ensure they remain within safe limits.
Before 2017, vehicles typically used R134a refrigerant. However, starting in 2017, new vehicles are legally required to use HFO-1234yf, a refrigerant that emits 98% fewer climate-damaging pollutants, representing a significant advancement for the automotive industry and environmental protection. At our service center, we are equipped to handle both types of refrigerants. If you’re unsure which type your vehicle uses, we can quickly identify it for you.
The friction from driving heats up the tires, which in turn raises the internal pressure.
Tyres naturally lose pressure gradually through minor seepage, either from the valve, around the rim, or through the tyre’s body. While older tyres may deflate faster than new ones, a rapid loss of pressure usually suggests a leak.
Over time, condensation accumulates on the evaporator, creating an ideal environment for bacteria and fungi to grow. If you notice that your A/C system doesn’t smell as fresh as it used to, this is likely the cause, and we can address it effectively. To prevent this issue, it’s advisable to run your air conditioning for 10 minutes every week, especially if it’s not used regularly.
