We are finally getting winter and the stormy season over us, which means it’s time to prepare for the warm summer months. Temperatures are going to be on the rise, and while we will be welcoming the sun with open arms, there is no worse feeling than opening that car door and being hit in the face with suffocating heat.
As car owners, air conditioning is vital for the summer months and we cannot stress the importance of having a car air conditioning service!
Generally, manufacturers will recommend that you have an air conditioning service or air-con recharge every 2 years. Typically, air conditioning is not included in a service or checked as part of an MOT test which means that we need to include recharging the air conditioning as part of regular vehicle maintenance.
You can tell when it’s time for an air conditioning service when the AC is blowing out warm air or only works intermittently. By getting a service, you bring back the cold air on those days you most need it! Air conditioning service also improves your fuel efficiency as there is less strain on the system and engine. Finally, if you notice an unpleasant smell coming from the air vents this is a tell-tale sign that your air con needs attention.
In the UK, you can expect to pay anywhere from £30 to £100 for an air conditioning service. The price is going to fluctuate depending on the type of car you have, as well as what is included in the air conditioning service provided. Many garages may add in additional elements such as an anti-bacterial clean.
