Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my car air conditioning not blowing cold air?
If air conditioning only blows warm air, the most common causes are low refrigerant gas, a leak in the system, or a failing compressor. Blocked cabin filters and electrical issues can also reduce cooling performance. A diagnostic test checks for leaks, measures refrigerant pressure and ensures all components are working together to restore cold airflow.
How often should car air conditioning be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing car air conditioning every 1–2 years. Over time, refrigerant gas naturally leaks out, seals dry up, and filters clog, reducing efficiency. Regular servicing helps identify issues early, keeps the system running smoothly, and avoids complete failures in the middle of summer. Preventative maintenance also extends the life of the compressor and other expensive components.
Why does my car air con smell bad?
A musty or unpleasant smell usually comes from mould or bacteria growing inside the evaporator or cabin filter. Moisture build-up in the system provides the perfect environment for this growth. Replacing the cabin filter, cleaning the evaporator and using antibacterial treatments usually solves the problem, leaving the air con fresh and healthy again.
Expert Care
Smarter Cooling, Reliable Repairs
Modern car air conditioning systems are complex, combining refrigerant gases, compressors, condensers, evaporators, and electrical controls to provide efficient cooling. When one part fails, the whole system can underperform. A diagnostic check quickly locates issues such as low refrigerant levels, worn seals, or faulty pressure switches. Professional repairs restore efficiency, ensuring the cabin cools quickly and stays comfortable. Regular servicing also prevents costly breakdowns, improves fuel economy, and keeps every journey pleasant, whether you’re in city traffic or on the open road.
