Air Conditioning

Annual maintenance on your car's air conditioning system will help prevent any premature failure. In many cases, early detection of faults can limit the damage to your vehicle. For example, a small leak in a hose or condenser may be inexpensive to repair before the system becomes empty but can become a major expense if let go long enough to empty the system completely. This can lead to moisture entering the system, requiring replacement of the dryer assembly and possibly even damaging the compressor.

Annual maintenance should include a thorough inspection of all components, operating pressures, controls and a leak-test. Belts should be checked and adjusted, if necessary. Condenser and radiator cooling fins should be inspected and, if necessary, cleaned. The evaporator drain should also be checked for restrictions and cleared, if required. Engine mounts should be checked to ensure that the engine doesn't tip too much when under load, as this could stress hoses and lines that would eventually cause them to leak or break.

At Nagu Auto Collision Centre we use a state-of-the-art hydrocarbon refrigerant as an alternative to outdated refrigerants. It is compatible with all systems and does not require any additional special oil or components, making it ideal as a substitute after performing repairs. It is also considered environment-friendly and is not an ozone-depleting substance. Call us to find out more about our Air Conditioning installation and maintenance services.
