Car Air Conditioning – Aldershot

How often should it be serviced?

How often you need an air conditioning recharge depends on usage, but most manufacturers recommend servicing every 2 years to keep it working efficiently and reliably.

Even during colder months, running your air conditioning occasionally helps keep the system lubricated and prevents components, such as seals, from drying out.

Why it matters

If your air con isn’t as cold as it used to be, it may simply need recharging. Over time:

  • Refrigerant gas naturally depletes
  • Lubricating oil degrades
  • Moisture and debris can build up

A regular service helps maintain performance and prevent more costly issues.

Our service

At Aldershot MOT Centre, we carry out a full air conditioning service including:

  • Removing old refrigerant gas and oil
  • Vacuuming the system to remove moisture and contaminants
  • Checking for leaks
