A pre-season AC check keeps cabin air cool and fresh. Antibacterial cleaning, a performance check and routine servicing are the key steps.
Many owners forget to have their air conditioning checked before the season, yet a well-maintained system always delivers cool, fresh air. All it takes is an experienced technician and special equipment.
- Antibacterial treatment: warm, humid ducts breed bacteria, so the system should be sanitised every year, followed by a new cabin filter.
- Performance check: noise from the compressor, the most expensive part, often signals a refrigerant leak; a condenser clogged with dirt and leaves also reduces cooling.
- Routine maintenance: checking refrigerant and oil levels and recharging if needed.
Workshop equipment can deliver disinfectant into the hardest-to-reach parts of the system.
