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.
