Manufacturers recommend your air-con system is recharged with gas and lubricant every two years.
This service is not part of routine vehicle servicing, so if your vehicle is more than two years old it is probably due a recharge. Air con systems not fully recharged will be less effective and have to work harder putting more strain on the engine and using more fuel.
Car Air Con Northampton offers a complete air conditioning recharge service. We can also include a system de-bug to clear bacterial build up from within the system, which will remove any unpleasant odours.
Developed in conjunction major car manufacturers, HFO - 1234YF is the new, lower emission Air Conditioning refrigerant for all vehicles produced for EU countries from 2013. Our next generation 1234YF unit that meets the highest standards in performance, safety and efficiency.
Air con Andover will ensure your vehicle’s HFO-1234yf based air conditioning system is serviced and re-gassed in the most efficient and reliable way possible. What about older vehicles?
Vehicles built before 2013 mostly use a refrigerant known as R134a in their air con systems. There is no requirement to convert cars built to run on R134a to use this new refrigerant, they may legally be recharged with R134a for the foreseeable future.

Using your air con system will increase the amount of fuel your car consumes but using it correctly will reduce this increase to a minimum. Driving with the windows open will also increase fuel consumption so it is worth learning how to use your air con in the most efficient way.
Your windows should always be closed when using your air con. Your systems allows you to control the temperature inside your vehicle and the air will be les dusty and low on pollen.
By having your refrigerant level checked and an anti bacterial treatment at least once every other year you will reduce fuel consumption by allowing the compressor to perform at its maximum efficiency. Anti-bacterial treatment will ensure the system remains hygienic.
If your vehicle is hot inside when you get in, try the following:
Switch the air con to full cold and switch on the recirc button. This means the system is only trying to cool the air already in the car. You will quickly feel the temperature dropping.
When it gets to a comfortable level switch off the recirc button and adjust the temperature to suit.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the recirc button for prolonged periods as it can cause dehydration.
