Imagine being stuck in a bad traffic jam in
Cardiff or Newport with the sun beating down on you.
(Yes, we know what you're thinking – and
YES the sun does shine in Wales .)
Now imagine being stuck in a bad traffic jam in Cardiff
or Newport with the sun beating down on you – without air
conditioning . It doesn't bear thinking about.
Nevertheless, you can prevent this breakdown and stay
cool this summer . The easy way is to have your car
air con serviced before summer sets in. However, you
should only get your car air con serviced from
a quality automobile air conditioning servicing
shop. If you are living around South Wales , Cardiff or Newport ,

When it comes to your car air conditioning system ,
it will be in your best interests to perform regular preventative
maintenance. This will save you both headaches and money
for a period of time. Moreover, taking care of your car
air conditioning system is easier than you think. There
are some very simple checks you can perform on your own at
regular intervals.
Here are a couple of checks you can perform by yourself –
• Keep the aircon working -
It's important to keep the seals of your car air conditioning
system serviced. How is this achieved? Simply by running
the car aircon for a minimum of five minutes every month,
especially during winter. The regular working of your car
air conditioning system ensures that all the seals
remain adequately lubricated.
• Check the coolant level -
Always check your car's antifreeze liquid level at regular
intervals. This will prevent your car from overheating and
you will save on unnecessary expenses.
It's important for you to know how your car air conditioning
system actually works. Before you take your car for
servicing, educate yourself about specific problems. Learn
about the various problems that can plague your car
air conditioning system beforehand, so you will not
be in for a huge shock when you see the repair bills!
Your car air conditioning system has four components –
• Compressor: The compressor
is driven by the engine's drive belt. The compressor is mainly
responsible to compress and pressurize the cool gas, which
is the first step towards conditioning the air for your car
air conditioning system .
• Condenser: The condenser utilizes
the airflow from the engine fan and converts gas from the
compressor to liquid state. It is located in the front of
the radiator.
• Expansion Device: The high-pressure
liquid gas leaves the condenser dry and pressure is reduced
some more, thus cooling the liquid.
• Evaporator: This cool liquid
is passed through the evaporator and mixes with warm air
upon release. Upon coming in contact with warm air, the liquid
evaporates and cold, clean air is blown into the ambient
car via the aircon vents.
Now that you are aware of how your car air conditioning
system works, you will be better prepared to understand the
nature of problems that might affect the smooth functioning
of this system.
Servicing your car air conditioning system is an integral
part of keeping not just the aircon system in good health,
but also ensuring that you do not have to spend the summer
sweating and fuming! Not to mention that by getting your
car air conditioning system regularly serviced you are safe
in the knowledge that the system works with peak efficiency.
Steve Magill, the managing director of LVV Services Ltd.
which is located in South Wales , recommends that you get
your car air conditioning system serviced
every 12 months, thus ensuring you stay cool not just this
summer, but every summer!
