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.

We are fully compliant with the latest gas handling laws and hold an IMI award for gas handling. You can view the certificates below. Click on each one to view.

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 brief information below.

Below is a diagram which shows the flow of gas/liquid.

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.

Condenser

The condenser is normally situated at the front of the vehicle. The high pressure hot gas leaving the compressor passes through the condenser which is then cooled with the cooling fan. As the gas is cooled it changes into a high pressure liquid.

Receiver Drier

As the high pressure liquid leaves the condenser it passes through the receiver drier. The main job of the receiver drier is to remove moisture and filter out dirt and should be replaced every time the air conditioning system has been disturbed, for example when the compressor or condenser has been replaced.
