Air Conditioning Recharge

As part of our air conditioning recharge service, we pressure test your a/c system before we fill it. This means that if your system has a leak we can stop and inform you before we refill with expensive refrigerant saving you money! We can also add a special dye into the system helps to detect future leaks.  

Air Conditioning Anti-Bacterial Sanitisation

Have you had your Air-Con off for a while? Does it not smell as fresh as it should? The first sign is a persistent smell coming from your cars air conditioning system. Sometimes this smell might go after a short period of the system running, this is especially common if the air conditioning has not been used for a while. In some cases this build-up of bacteria will need to be cleaned from the system, which is why we offer our anti-bacterial air-conditioning service

An air conditioning anti-bacterial clean can remove bacteria from the system and help prevent its future build-up for some time, bringing back the crisp, cool air that should be coming out from your vents.

How often should car air conditioning be serviced?

Regular air conditioning service is essential for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring a comfortable driving experience. As a general guideline, car air conditioning systems should be serviced approximately every 2 years. However, factors such as usage patterns, climate conditions, and the age of the vehicle can influence the frequency of service.

At Wight Tyres, our air conditioning service includes a thorough inspection, refrigerant recharge, and cleaning of components to ensure efficient cooling. Regular servicing helps prevent issues, such as refrigerant leaks and compressor failures, contributing to the longevity of your air conditioning system.

What are signs of a failing air conditioning system?

Recognising the signs of a failing air conditioning system is crucial for addressing issues promptly. Common indicators include:

  • Reduced Cooling Capacity: If you notice a decrease in the overall cooling performance of your air conditioning, it may indicate a problem with the system
  • Strange Noises: Unusual sounds, such as squealing or grinding, when the air conditioning is in use may suggest issues with the compressor or other components
  • Unpleasant Odors: Foul or musty smells coming from the vents could indicate mould or bacteria growth within the system
  • Leaking Refrigerant: Puddles of fluid under your parked car may signal a refrigerant leak, requiring immediate attention
  • Inconsistent Airflow: Uneven or weak airflow from the vents may be a sign of a failing blower motor or a clogged air filter.

 

If you observe any of these symptoms, it’s advisable to schedule a professional inspection and air conditioning service at Wight Tyres. Timely intervention helps maintain a comfortable cabin environment and extends the life of your air conditioning system.
