Air Conditioning
We provide a mobile car air conditioning service which
involves coming to your home or work place to service
your cars air conditioning system.
Did You Know…..If
your car has air conditioning it needs to be serviced on
an annual basis, just like your engine does.
Did You Also know…..that
you need to use your air conditioning at least once a
week for at least half an hour, even in the winter (yes
you can use your air conditioning in the winter and also
your heater at the same time).
Many people do not know or have never been told this!
This is what could happen if you do not use it as
mentioned above.
Your air conditioning has a pump which drives the gas
around your air conditioning system. Inside the pump
there is oil, just like your engine has oil, this oil
needs to flow around the system to keep the pipe joints
lubricated. Around these joints are special rubber seals
and if these seals are left to dry out (because the pump
is not being used) then the gas which you have in your
system will eventually leak out of these seals causing
your air conditioning to stop working.
This is one of the main reasons for using the air
conditioning. The other one is that the pump also needs
to be used so that it too can be lubricated giving it
less chance to seize up costing you hundreds of pounds
to replace it. There is one other reason for using the
air conditioning on a regular basis and this is to slow
the growth of mould and fungus building up in the ventilation system
(which we can treat).
A Fact That Needs Clarifying…
Some people are afraid that the air conditioning uses
too much fuel. Right and Wrong.
If you use the air conditioning on the lowest fan
setting then you won’t notice much of a difference in
your fuel economy, however if you set the fan speed to
maximum speed for a long period of time then yes you
will use more fuel. This is no different to you leaving
your windows open and causing a drag, this also uses
more fuel.
Below is a diagram
which shows the flow of gas.

For those of you who are
interested to know what certain components of the air
conditioning are and what they do please feel free to
view the diagrams and information below.
Compressor (PUMP)

This is the compressor
(pump) which is commonly referred as the "the
heart of the system". The
job of the compressor is to compress and drive the gas
around the system.
