When an air conditioning system is not used for a period of time or left unserviced, the combination of condensation, which is present within the system and the warmth generated from the engine produces a perfect environment for bacteria and fungi to grow. This reaction results in unhealthy and unpleasant odours which can cause sore throats and allergic reactions.
Additionally over a period of time the refrigerant gas used within the air conditioning system can escape, which can cause the system to be inefficient and increase fuel consumption (due to the systems compressor needing to work harder to compensate)
The refrigerant gas within the system carries out two functions:
1) To cool the air that enters the vehicles cabin
2) To circulate the oil, used to lubricate the compressor and seals by suspending it within the refrigerant gas.
We recommend that both these parts of the air conditioning system are checked annually.
