For many of us, our cars are like a second home. So we would
like to enjoy the same level of comfort in our car, which
we are accustomed to at home and even work. The slide of
the lever or a push of the button allows us to move seamlessly,
from a hot to a cool environment and back again, without
really thinking about what is involved. This is only true
until something goes wrong. LVV air conditioning services
in South Wales is ready to take care of all your
aircon problems.
The very first air conditioning system for automobiles was
introduced in 1940s. Changes and technology advancements
have occurred since its birth, including the air conditioning
mechanism, which has become more complex and refined. With
the introduction of computerized automatic temperature control
(a feature that allows you to set the desired temperature
and makes the a/c system adjust itself automatically) and
other features, the use and repair of these systems has become
highly demanding and the technicians of car air conditioning
in South Wales is well aware of this.
Added to the already complex aircon system, we now have
tough environmental regulations that govern the simple tasks
such as recharging the air conditioning system with the R
12 refrigerant, called Freon. However, the U.S. and many
other countries under the Montreal Protocol have banned the
manufacture and use of Freon. This ban is due to the proven
damaging effects of this gas to our ozone layer
Therefore, now more than ever before, your car air conditioning
mechanic in South Wales will have
to provide a receipt for the purchase of the refrigerant
and also for the repair of your air con. It is necessary
for the car air conditioning mechanic in South
Wales to be equipped with correct tools that ensure
that these ozone depleting chemicals be captured should
the system be opened for repair. Your car air conditioning
mechanic in South Wales may have to spend
more time to repair your car's aircon; he will need to
be fully trained and experienced. We suggest that you gain
some basic knowledge of your car's air conditioning
system so that you are better equipped to make a more
informed decision in case of repair work.
Major problems with your vehicle's air conditioning
system would mean that you come face to face with
incomprehensible jargons. You car air conditioning
mechanic in South Wales may suggest ‘retrofit'
as opposed to just repairing and recharging the aircon
gas.
So what is ‘retrofit'?
Retrofitting the air conditioning system of the
car simply involves making some specific changes to the system
that allows for the use of the new environmentally friendly
R 134a gas. The R 134a has a higher operating pressure, thus
prompting the car air conditioning mechanic in South
Wales to change or add more components to the
system depending on the age of your aircon system. The costs
for repair can increase significantly due to ‘retrofitting',
and may also reduce the cooling efficiency, increase operating
costs and reduce comfort of your vehicle if the changes are
not carried out under expert guidance. This is why you should
use LVV Air conditioning Services in South Wales .
