Plymouth Car Air Conditioning Service
When the warmer weather hits (like it really has this summer!), the last thing you want is to discover that your car air conditioning is blowing warm air. Whether you are commuting across Plymouth, heading out along the coast or setting off on a longer summer journey, reliable air con can make a big difference to your comfort behind the wheel.
If your vehicle’s air conditioning is not performing as it should, Plymouth Radiators can help. Our experienced team provides professional car air conditioning services in Plymouth, including air con recharging, re-gassing, repairs, sanitisation, leak detection and servicing.
Was Your Car Air Conditioning Ready This Summer?
Car air conditioning systems are often taken for granted until something goes wrong. You press the button, expect a blast of cool air and instead get warm or barely cool air from the vents.
A drop in cooling performance can be a sign that your system needs attention. Refrigerant amounts can gradually decrease over time, while leaks, worn components, blocked filters and other faults can also affect how effectively your air con operates.
There may be other warning signs too. Strange noises when the air conditioning is switched on, unpleasant smells from the vents or problems clearing moisture from the windscreen are all reasons to have the system checked.
Getting an issue looked at early can help identify the cause before a relatively straightforward problem develops into a more expensive repair.
Car Air Conditioning Services for Plymouth
At Plymouth Radiators, we offer a comprehensive range of air conditioning services for cars and commercial vehicles. Our technicians are City and Guilds Refrigerant and Gas Handling qualified and have decades of experience working with vehicle air conditioning systems.
Our services include air con recharging and re-gassing, air conditioning repairs, leak detection, sanitisation, installation and servicing. We can also carry out efficient vehicle air conditioning diagnostic checks to identify faults and assess the condition of the system.
A proper check is particularly useful if your air con is not cooling properly. Rather than simply adding refrigerant, our technicians can investigate the system and determine whether there is an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
Does Your Car Need an Air Con Re-Gas?
One of the most common reasons for poor air conditioning performance is a low refrigerant level. Small amounts of refrigerant can naturally escape from a vehicle’s air conditioning system over time, decreasing its ability to cool the cabin in your car effectively.
An air con re-gas involves removing the existing refrigerant and replacing it with the correct type and quantity. The system can then be checked to make sure it is operating correctly.
Plymouth Radiators can work with both R134A and 1234YF refrigerant gases, depending on the requirements of your vehicle. If your car only requires an air conditioning re-gas, we can usually carry this out while you wait. This usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
If, however, our inspection identifies a fault or potential leak, we will discuss this with you before any further work is carried out.
Keep Your Car Air Con Clean and Fresh
Air conditioning is not only about keeping the cabin cool. Over time, pollen, dust, mould and bacteria can build up within the system and contribute to unpleasant smells coming through the vents.
Plymouth Radiators provides air-con sanitisation as part of our vehicle air-conditioning services. Our comprehensive service includes a 30-minute cockpit sanitisation with smell fresh deodoriser, along with mould and bacteria clearing.
We can also supply and fit new pollen filters where required. Keeping these components clean and in good condition can support maintaining a fresher and more comfortable cabin environment.
What If Your Air Conditioning Has a Fault?
Not every air conditioning problem can be solved with a re-gas. If the system is making odd noises, failing to cool the vehicle or losing refrigerant repeatedly, there could be a fault that needs investigating.
Our skilled technicians can carry out diagnostic checks and repair a wide range of vehicle air conditioning faults. We can also supply and fit components including condensers, evaporators, compressors and switches when required.
This means you can come to one place for both routine air con maintenance and more involved repairs.
