Over time the air conditioning system will slowly leak its refrigerant, causing the quality of air conditioning to degrade. Not only does this impact the cool air in the summer but it can also cause your windscreen to defog much slower in the winter months.
If you notice a bad smell coming from your air vents however, this could be indicative of bacterial build-up within the air conditioning system. There is no need to fret over this though as part of regassing the air conditioning system can involve a full disinfectant of it. This will eliminate any of this potential build up and allow us at Canklow to regas a clean system.
The benefits of a properly maintained air conditioning system are not just cool air but also improved fuel efficiency. Like many of the systems within your vehicle, a properly serviced and maintained air conditioning system is less demanding on your vehicle and therefore runs more efficiently, taxing your fuel consumption that bit less.
It is important to note that newer vehicles will require the new R1234yf gas that is currently in use across Europe and other parts of the world. It is being put in to use as a more environmentally friendly replacement for the older R134a gas. If you are unsure which gas your vehicle needs then please feel free to contact us to find out.
