Air Conditioning

How does car air conditioning work?

Your car's air conditioning system plays a vital function within your vehicle. It not only keeps the inside of your car cool when it's hot but also improves the air quality by filtering out airborne bacteria, pollutants and pollen.

Unfortunately, with time, the refrigerant in your car's AC diminishes, especially when you don't use it regularly. This causes it to function poorly, adversely affecting you and your passenger's comfort. Luckily, a simple air conditioning recharge keeps the system running smoothly and efficiently.

What is an air con recharge?

An AC recharge is a simple check of the temperature of the air emanating from your car's AC vent. The check tells you whether your AC refrigerant needs a recharge, which involves refilling the system with fresh refrigerant or topping it up. At Riverside Car Sales, we provide quality auto AC recharge services to keep your air con in good condition. Our AC recharge services comprise:

• A temperature check
• A leak test
• A refrigerant check
• An inspection of your AC's key components, including the condenser, hoses, compressor and drive belts.

Why schedule AC maintenance and recharge services?

If your car's AC system isn't maintained and recharged regularly, it's more likely to break down or get damaged. It may also stop functioning as well as it should, resulting in heat-related irritability during warm and hot weather. Vehicle manufacturers typically recommend getting an AC charge every couple of years (3-4 years) no matter what. This is key to keeping your AC running efficiently and increasing its lifespan.
