The need for air conditioning maintenance
It is a good idea to have your car's air conditioning serviced at least every two years. Even if the air conditioning system is working properly, refrigerant is constantly evaporating from the system and the cooling capacity is reduced. When there is less refrigerant, the compressor has to work harder, which also increases fuel consumption. You can notice signs of a deteriorating air conditioning system and the need for maintenance during everyday driving. You may notice that the air flow is not cooling properly, even after the air conditioning has been on for a long time. One significant symptom can also be a bad smell spreading into the car through the air conditioning system. A functioning air conditioning system drips water under the car. If there is no water, the evaporator's condensation pipe may be blocked and the water cannot escape from the evaporator housing. This can cause moisture to build up on the floor mat and cause the windshield to fog up heavily.
Maintenance
The air conditioning service device is attached to the car's connectors, of which there are two in most cars. One is connected to negative pressure and the other to positive pressure. First, the amount of refrigerant in the vehicle is checked, after which the substance is filtered by the service device and collected from the car's air conditioning system. The device also weighs the amount of refrigerant removed. After this, the air conditioning system is dehumidified by applying negative pressure and the system is tested for leaks. If no leaks are found, the system is refilled with the correct amount of refrigerant. The oil that lubricates the compressor can be added if necessary. If odors have occurred while using the air conditioning, the system will be disinfected if necessary for an additional charge.

Why is the car's air conditioning not working?
The cause of a fault in the air conditioning system may be a leak in the system, allowing refrigerant to flow out of the system. This results in the refrigerant running out and the system no longer cooling. The fault may also be in the air conditioning compressor, preventing the refrigerant from flowing through the system normally. Other causes of a fault condition may include, for example, a blown fuse in the system, a clogged air filter or a broken fan motor.
REMEMBER!
- It is a good idea to use your air conditioner at least once a month. Prolonged inactivity can dry out the compressor shaft seals, which can cause refrigerant leaks in the system.
- Air conditioning should also be used in winter, but it is not recommended to turn it on in severe frost.
- Also remember to change your car's air filter in the spring.
*EU Directive 2006/40/EC requires that air conditioning systems in cars type-approved after 1 January 2011 may not use refrigerants with a greenhouse effect (GWP, Global warming potential) greater than 150. However, a large proportion of cars sold after 2011 were type-approved before 1 January 2011. If you are unsure which refrigerant is used in your car, our staff will be happy to help.
