If your vehicle's air conditioning is not cooling, or simply does not keep you as cool as it used to, we can help. The system operates in a continuous cycle, sending refrigerant through a sealed circuit to remove heat from the cabin. When that sealed system leaks, refrigerant level drops and cooling performance falls away with it.
We recommend having your air conditioning serviced and re-gassed every 12 to 24 months. Running the air conditioning occasionally through winter also helps: these systems contain many hoses and seals that can dry out or crack, leading to leaks and poor performance.
An air conditioning service involves connecting service gauges and running the system to check operating pressures and performance — not simply adding gas. A system that has lost refrigerant has lost it somewhere, and we would rather find the leak.
CC Auto Electrics Auto Services holds ARC refrigerant handling licence AU30047.
Our standard AC performance check includes
- Identify the type of gas in the system
- Diagnose and repair air conditioning faults
- Remove and replace the filter/drier unit if required
- Check the condition of the compressor and condenser
- Check the condition of all hoses and wiring harnesses
- Pressure test the system and leak test all components
- Vacuum the system for a minimum of 30 minutes
- Recharge with R134a or R404A refrigerant, fluoro dye and oil
- Final pressure and outlet temperature test
