Air Conditioning Recharge

• An estimated 10% of Air-Con gas permeates from the system every year.
  

• Air-Con systems need recharging with gas & lubricant every 2 years.
  

Over 2/3 of vehicles are fitted with air conditioning and climate control systems as standard these days. Many of us are familiar with using air-con in our car on both hot and cold days, but not many people are aware that like other parts of your car, the air-conditioning system also needs regular attention to make sure it is working efficiently.

You may not be aware 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 a recharge.

KLUZ Car Service now offers a complete air conditioning recharge service.
The process 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-Con system before and after recharge. Air-Con systems not fully recharged will be less effective and have to work harder putting more strain on the engine and using more fuel. If your Air-Con system has not been recharged in 2 years it will dramatically reduce efficiency.

During the hotter summer months motorists use the Air-Con system more; however your system is also useful in winter. Air-Con systems create dry warm air rather than the normal humid air from outside and this de-mists your car windscreen more quickly.

To keep your Air-Con system fully charged all year, why not call in to us and have your vehicle’s air conditioning system recharged with gas and lubricant today.

We will replace and recharge lubricant and refrigerant levels in line with your manufacturer’s recommendation.
