A car aircon system is sealed, so if the air has stopped coming out cold there is usually a reason: a leak, a failed compressor clutch, a blocked condenser or an electrical fault. Simply regassing a leaking system means paying again a few weeks later.
We test the system, find the cause and quote the repair. Then we recharge it with the correct gas for your vehicle and check it is blowing cold.
Common aircon problems
- Air blows warm or only slightly cool
- Weak airflow from the vents
- Musty or damp smell when the aircon is on
- Noise when the aircon is switched on
- Windows don't demist properly
- Water inside the footwell
What we do
- Performance and leak testing
- Regas with the correct refrigerant for your vehicle
- Compressor, condenser and expansion valve repairs
- Cabin filter replacement
- Blower motor and resistor repairs
- Electrical fault finding with auto electrical diagnosis
Keep it healthy
Run the aircon for a few minutes every week, even in winter. It keeps seals lubricated and the system working. A fresh cabin filter at service time keeps the air clean and the airflow strong.
Common questions
Why is my aircon not cold?
Usually low gas from a leak, a compressor fault or a blocked condenser. We test to find out which.
How often does a car aircon need regassing?
A healthy system should not need frequent regassing. If it does, there is a leak.
What causes a bad smell?
Bacteria and mould on the evaporator, and a dirty cabin filter. We clean and replace the filter.
Does aircon use more fuel?
A little. A well-maintained system works more efficiently.
