Like just about any modern technology with moving parts, the air-conditioning system in your car needs to get a regular service to maintain peak efficiency. 

The car air conditioner's compressor needs to have the oil checked and/or changed to prevent it from seizing up. When the air filters become clogged with dirt and bacteria it will affect the performance of the entire system and it can even cause automotive air conditioners to quit working altogether - not to mention the ill effect it can have on your health. 

It's also very important that the rubber seals are checked for any leaks or deterioration. When car air conditioner seals start to leak gas your air conditioner system as a whole will begin to deteriorate, decreasing it's efficiency and increasing your use of fuel. A new car can typically lose approximately 20% of it's refrigerant gas in the first two years.

The special Refrigerant gas in a car air conditioning system is what creates ‘the cool'. This gas is compressed via the compressor, causing it's temperature to drop, then it is pumped through the system to cool the air which is to be circulated through your car. Running your air conditioner puts en extra load on the engine which means you need to consume more fuel than you normally would. 

 When the refrigerant gas has started to leak or evaporate there is a drop in pressure so the compressor has to work harder to compress the gas and this in turn puts a bigger load on your car's engine, meaning of course that you are using even more fuel. This pressure drop also occurs naturally over time as the gas degrades. 

To run in top condition the refrigerant gas in your car air conditioner needs to be recharged completely within four years from the manufacture date and every two to three years after that to ensure the optimum pressure level is maintained. 

By getting an annual car air-conditioning service you can help to prevent costly breakdowns in the future - and a well serviced air-conditioning actually saves you money because it uses less petrol and potential problem may be identified early and avoided.
