Keeping Your Air Con Cool & Reliable
Your vehicle’s air conditioning system is made up of several components working together to deliver cool, dry air—compressor, condenser, evaporator, fans, and refrigerant lines. Over time, refrigerant can leak or degrade, filters can clog, and parts can wear out—especially if the system isn’t used regularly. At ABIV Automotive, we perform full A/C inspections, pressure checks, regassing, leak detection and component replacements to restore full performance. If your air conditioning is weak, making odd noises, or cycling on and off irregularly, it's likely due for servicing. Our team also checks for mould or unpleasant odours that could be caused by bacterial build-up in the system. With expert servicing, you’ll enjoy better cooling power, improved air quality, and peace of mind on every drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my car air conditioner blowing warm air?
A car A/C system blowing warm air is usually a sign of low refrigerant levels, which can result from a leak somewhere in the system. Other possible causes include a faulty compressor, clogged condenser, broken fans, or electrical issues like a blown fuse or damaged relay. If the refrigerant is leaking, simply recharging the system (regassing) won’t be enough—leak detection and proper repair are essential. Getting the system professionally inspected is the best way to identify the root cause and restore cold airflow.
What does a car air conditioning service include?
A standard car A/C service typically includes checking refrigerant levels, regassing the system, inspecting hoses and seals for leaks, testing the compressor and fans, and evaluating overall cooling performance. Some services also include cabin filter replacement and system sanitisation to eliminate odours or bacteria build-up. Technicians may also check pressure readings and look for early signs of wear or failure in components like the evaporator or expansion valve. The goal is to catch minor issues before they turn into major repairs.
How often should I service my car’s air conditioning?
It’s generally recommended to service your car’s air conditioning every 1 to 2 years, even if it appears to be working fine. Over time, refrigerant naturally depletes and system components can wear out or become clogged. Regular servicing helps ensure optimal performance, extends the lifespan of parts, prevents costly breakdowns, and improves air quality inside the vehicle. If your car’s A/C is used frequently—especially in hot climates—more regular checks may be beneficial.
