Overview & Advice
Air conditioning works on the same principle as a fridge, using refrigerant gas to keep the air cool. There are two types of gas - R12 & R13A.
Since 1993 it has been illegal to use R12 as it is a CFC which damages the ozone layer, so from that date cars use R13A. We can advise you which type you are using, and we are able to convert the old systems to the new gas for £120 +VAT.
Many customers do not use their air conditioning during the winter months, unfortunately this can cause the internal seals to dry out and result in leaks. We encourage our customers to use their air conditioning throughout the year for demisting their windows; most air conditioning systems will work even when the heater is on, and come summer the air conditioning unit has not suffered the common fault of seals drying out.
