Car Air-Conditioning Sherborne & Surrounding Areas

Over two thirds of all vehicles manufactured today come with air conditioning and climate control systems as standard.

Many drivers experience the benefits of air con in their car or van on a hot day but just like other parts of your car, the air-conditioning system also needs regular attention to ensure it continues to work efficiently and effectively.

You may not know that over 10% of air-con gas permeates from the air-con system every year, which means that it may not work as well as it should. This is why car manufacturers recommend your air-con system is recharged with gas and lubricant every 2 years. This service is not part of routine vehicle servicing, so if your vehicle is more than 2 years old it’s probably due an air-con recharge. Air conditioning doesn’t just provide in-car comfort during the hot summer months; it can also be used in winter to demist your windscreen. Air-con systems create dry warm air rather than the normal humid air from outside which can clear your windscreen much more quickly than your regular blowers.

Recharge at Crackmore

The recharge process is quite simple and involves removing any old refrigerant gas and oil from your air-con system before replacing this with the correct amount of new refrigerant and lubricant as per your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. A vacuum test is also performed to ensure there are no cracks or damage in your air-conditioning system that could cause the gas to leak out.

Within an hour the whole recharge process can be completed and you will once again have refreshing cool air on demand. Air conditioning units are prone to accumulating bacteria and dirt, which can impact its effectiveness, especially after long periods without use. An air conditioning anti-bacterial clean restores your car’s air conditioning filters, bringing back the crisp, cool air that should be coming out from your vents. We can also include a system de-bug to clear bacterial build up from within the system, which will remove any unpleasant odours.

Our trained technicians will show you the difference in your air-conditioning system before and after recharge. Air-con systems that are not recharged regularly will be less effective and have to work harder to produce cool air. This puts more strain on the engine and uses more fuel. If your air-con system has not been recharged in the past two years it will dramatically reduce efficiency.

Here at Crackmore, we could also recharge your air con whilst you wait. We will replace and recharge lubricant and refrigerant levels in line with your manufacturer’s recommendation.
