RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

As refrigerant levels decrease from naturally occurring evaporation over time or leaks from faulty hoses or connections, your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which in turn means more fuel is getting used up.

It's important to regularly inspect the condition of rubber seals for any signs of leaks or cracking which may be causing a loss of refrigerant. Servicing your air con every 12 months you help prevent costly breakdowns, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system actually saves you money because it minimises fuel consumption.

Air con regas, repairs and inspections in Pakenham

Andrews Autos is your go-to destination for all car air conditioning needs, including re-gassing, inspections, diagnosis, repairs and servicing.  We also have FREE Loan Cars Available. 

Your vehicle's air conditioning system operates by using refrigerant to extract heat from the interior and expel it outside, ensuring that only cooled, or 'conditioned', air circulates within the car. Regularly inspecting the rubber seals for leaks or wear is crucial, as deterioration could indicate refrigerant loss.

Inadequate Cooling: If your car's air conditioning fails to cool effectively, it might be due to low refrigerant levels, a clogged condenser, or compressor issues.

Unusual Noises: Strange noises like banging or rattling when the AC is on could signal problems with the compressor or other components of the system.

Unpleasant Odours: A musty or mouldy smell from the vents often points to mould or mildew in the system or cabin air filter, necessitating cleaning or replacement.

Weak Airflow: Weak or inconsistent airflow can be caused by a broken ventilation fan, clogged hoses, or seal issues in the AC.

Leaking Fluids: Noticing refrigerant leaks inside or outside your vehicle may indicate damage or cracks in the air conditioning components.

Electrical Problems: Issues such as the AC not turning on or off, or other control faults, could be due to electrical malfunctions within the system.

To ensure optimal performance, the refrigerant in your vehicle's air conditioning system should ideally be refilled completely within four years of the car's manufacture and every two to three years thereafter.

Having your air conditioning serviced prior to the summer months and holiday road trips can make a world of difference to your comfort and safety. As temperatures soar across Australia, a well-functioning air con ensures a cool and pleasant interior, preventing heat-related discomfort and fatigue. Moreover, regular servicing can enhance the efficiency of your system, potentially lowering energy consumption and saving on fuel costs. It also provides an opportunity to identify and rectify any minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs or breakdowns during your travels. Ultimately, a pre-summer air con service helps ensure a hassle-free and enjoyable journey, whether you're commuting to work or exploring Australia's stunning landscapes on a holiday road trip.

With the arrival of colder temperatures, the reliability of your vehicle is key. At Andrews Autos, we stress the importance of a battery inspection before winter to avoid any unexpected breakdowns and ensure your vehicle performs properly. Consider a Free Battery test for your peace of mind, just drop in.

Cold conditions can severely affect car battery performance. Lower temperatures place greater demands on you battery and if it has a decreased capacity, then it will struggle. This situation could shorten the battery life and, in extreme cases, prevent the vehicle from starting. Batteries over three years old are particularly at risk as their efficiency declines. Routine assessments can help ensure your vehicle remains operational throughout the colder months.

The Impact of Cold Weather on Car Batteries

The team at Andrews Autos know the importance of periodic battery testing, particularly with winter on the horizon. A battery past the three-year mark may experience performance degradation and reliability issues due to wear and tear. Early detection of potential problems through regular checks can sidestep the inconvenience of battery failure.

Battery performance can significantly decline without any obvious signs, leading to an unexpected situation where your car won't start. We have an impressive range of batteries, ensuring a comprehensive coverage for all types of passenger vehicles, 4x4s, SUVs, Utes, Vans and even vehicles outfitted with advanced Stop-Start systems.

Please be aware that a Battery Test and visual inspection are included automatically with every service provided by us. Should your battery fail the test, we will let you know and with your consent, order in a new one, normally same day subject to availability.

If you are unsure about the state of your battery, our specialists at Andrews Autos are here to help. Utilising tools like the Battery Load tester, we can quickly determine your battery's health. 

As temperatures begin to fall, don't let your vehicle's battery health decline. At Andrews Autos, we are dedicated to making sure your vehicle is prepared for winter with a reliable battery. Get in touch with us today to arrange your pre-winter battery inspection and stay one step ahead of the cold weather.

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Andrews Autos in Pakenham today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Andrews Autos in Pakenham we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced every 12 months means you may avoid costly breakdowns now and in the future, and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system saves you money because it reduces the amount of fuel you use.

Andrews Autos care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU47170) to conduct automotive air conditioning service reliably and responsibly. ARC Approved Car Air Conditioning Servicing reduces Fuel Costs and protects your health.
