Most modern cars now come with some form of air conditioning or climate control as standard. These systems use a special gas to cool the air which in turn helps control the temperature within the vehicle. The system also dehumidifies and cleans the air. But like all parts of your vehicle it will need looking after. So Rayner’s offer Air Conditioning Servicing in Newbury as well as repairs and re-gassing.
Over a period of time, the Air Conditioning system can lose gas or become contaminated. Additionally, air filters can gradually become saturated.
As a result the system will become inefficient or fail completely. Inefficient air conditioning systems that become low on refrigerant gas have the knock effect of causing your engine to work harder. This in turn increases fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Therefore air conditioning units should be regularly serviced like the rest of the vehicle.
Vehicle manufacturers recommend that the air conditioning system is serviced every 2 years. So as one of our many services we offer car air conditioning servicing and repairs from our garage in Newbury. We’ll also give your air conditioning system a thorough inspection to identify if there are any faults and leaks.
Unfortunately, the majority of drivers don’t use their air conditioning during the winter months. The downside to this is that it can cause the internal seals to dry out and result in leaks. If possible, it’s best to use your air conditioning throughout the year. It’s designed to help demisting your vehicles windows, even in cold weather.
We also offer car air conditioning re-gassing as well as cleaning the system and checking for any leaks or blockages. Both of which can hamper the efficiency of your air conditioning system and cost you more in running costs.
Here at Rayner Bosch Car Service, our fully trained technicians will check all aspects of your air conditioning systems. And we’re using the latest Bosch equipment to diagnose and recharge your air conditioning system. Recharging or re-gassing entails removing the old refrigerant gas from the air con system and replacing it with new refrigerant gas.
This will result in the following benefits:
If your car is booked in for a regular vehicle service, we will carry out a visual inspection of your air conditioning system. If needed we will inform you when your vehicle is due for a re-gas.
However, the best way to avoid costly repairs and possibly a complete system failure, is to have your air conditioning serviced and recharged as per manufacturers recommendations.
We can cater for any age of vehicle as there will be a difference in the air con gas that’s used depending on your vehicles age.
Most vehicles manufactured before 2014 commonly use R134A. After 2017 the new, environmentally friendly R1234YF air con gas is used. We can supply both and any variations introduced since 2017.
If you’re not sure whether your vehicles air conditioning is working optimally or may need a re-gas then drop your vehicle into us.
Our technicians will be able to run test to determine if the air being pumped out of your air conditioning system is as cool as it should be.
We’ll then recommend whether it should undergo a re-gas, a service. And we can include an anti-bacterial clean with both of these solutions to ensure your air-con system smells fresh and clean.
You’re advised to use your AirCon throughout the year but do you know when to use the recirculation button on your AC controls in the car?
Simply, use it in the summer and turn off in winter.
This will stop air being pulled in from outside – a great idea if it’s 35 degrees outside!
By pressing the air recirculation button you can boost your air con to reduce the temperature inside the car more quickly.
Recirculating AC also cuts down on pollutants entering your vehicle by 20%, great if stuck in traffic.
And if you don’t switch the recirculation button on, then your air-con is constantly cooling warm air from outside so has to work much harder. This can put stress on the air compressor and blower.
BUT if you notice an “old socks” smell when you first start up it means you probably need an air con system refresh.
