Car Air Conditioning: Are You Ready for the Summer?

Your air conditioning keeps you cool and fresh in the summer.

Did you know that your air conditioning also keeps your windscreen dry in the winter helping your windows demist quicker? Regular maintenance of your air conditioning is essential and should be checked every year and serviced every 2 years.

Your air conditioning system will lose approx 10% of its refrigerant every year, this is normal but it reduces the cooling performance and runs the risk of damage to some essential components. Moisture & bacteria can build up over this time causing poor cooling and nasty smells in the car.

By servicing your air conditioning you keep your air conditioning working at its optimum temperatures, the refrigerant is dried and filtered, cleaned & bacteria-free. Your air conditioning system also has filters that require replacement too, just like your car’s engine.

Every 12 months we recommend: a visual inspection of all components, function and performance & temperature check, and replace the pollen filter.

Every 2 years we recommend: a visual inspection of all components, function and performance check, replace the pollen filter, if necessary disinfect the evaporator, replace the filter/dryer, replace the refrigerant gas, and carry out a leak test.

If your air conditioning isn’t working or if you feel it’s not cooling as it used to, you can depend on the team at Donnellan Auto Services to check the system to see if it just needs a service or if you need some leak testing or repair, we can check and will recommend the best repair for you.
