The car air conditioning system is an integral part of the car climate system that regulates the temperature, humidity and purity of the air in the car. The efficient operation of the cooling system allows for comfortable conditions for the driver and passengers regardless of the weather conditions outside.

Car air conditioning maintenance services at Hunters Garage

- Diagnostics of all elements of the air conditioning system for leaks.
- Vacuuming and antibacterial cleaning of the system from moisture and waste.
- Full refuelling of the system with branded freon with the addition of original lubricating oil.
- Free re-diagnosis within two weeks.

The first step on the way to a working air conditioner is a thorough diagnosis. We use modern equipment to check the system's tightness, measure pressure and temperature, and diagnose electronic components. Our experts carefully check every element of the system to identify even the smallest faults.

Eliminating system leaks

We use soldering or replacement of damaged pipelines and components to restore the tightness. After the repair, the system is re-tested for leaks to ensure that the problem has been resolved.

Electrical and control system troubleshooting

Repairing the electrical part of the system involves replacing damaged wires, relays and other components, while restoring the control system may require reprogramming controllers or replacing faulty sensors.

Antibacterial car air conditioning cleaning is a procedure aimed at cleaning the system from bacteria, fungi, allergens and unpleasant odours. At the same time as the air conditioning is cleaned, the cabin filter is replaced.

Filling the system with oil and refrigerant is the final stage of car air conditioning maintenance.

Hunters Garage works with two types of freon - R-134a and R-1234yf, depending on the car manufacturer's recommendations.

Car air conditioning repair is a complex procedure that requires special knowledge and experience.

Questions and answers

Refuelling, repair and maintenance of the air conditioner

Why is my car’s air conditioner not working?

Common causes:

Low refrigerant level
Damaged compressor
Clogged filters
Leaking hoses

Why is my car’s A/C blowing hot air?

Low refrigerant
Broken compressor
Faulty thermostat
Dirty filters
Electrical issues

Why isn’t my car A/C cooling properly?

The most common cause is low refrigerant. Check and refill as needed.

Signs your car A/C needs repair

Signs your car A/C needs repair:

Insufficient cooling
Strange smells
Loud noises
Water leaks
Complete A/C failure

How often should you refill your car A/C?

Depends on car type, age, usage, and refrigerant quality. Check annually.

What refrigerants are used in car A/Cs?

R-134a – Common in modern cars; environmentally safe.
R-1234yf – Eco-friendlier alternative for newer models.

Hunters Garage works with both types.

Common problems with A/C compressors?

Common problems with A/C compressors:

Dry system due to inactivity
Dirty cabin filters
Incorrect refrigerant levels
Overuse of A/C system
Lack of regular inspections
Poor storage (e.g., extreme heat)

Proper use and maintenance can prolong A/C system life.

How to properly care for a car air conditioner so that it works properly for a long time?

Use the air conditioning system regularly. If the system is not used for a long period of time, it can dry out, which can damage the sealing materials. Replace the cabin filter regularly. This will help keep the system free of dust, dirt and other contaminants that can remain in the system, which will reduce the system's efficiency. Check the refrigerant level and top up the system if necessary. Insufficient refrigerant can reduce the system's efficiency, while excess refrigerant can damage system components. Do not use the air conditioning system too often or at maximum power when not needed. This will help reduce wear on system components and save fuel. Regularly check the system for damage and restore it in a timely manner. Timely repair and replacement of damaged components will help prevent more serious problems in the future. Provide your car with proper storage conditions. For example, when the car is parked in the sun for a long time, it is recommended to close the windows or open the hood to prevent the air conditioning system from overheating.

What are the pressure readings for a car air conditioner?

Pressure readings in a car air conditioning system depend on the vehicle's type and age, as well as the operating conditions. However, the following general pressure ranges apply to most vehicles:

Low pressure: 25 to 45 psi (172 to 310 kPa)
High pressure: 150 to 300 psi (1034 to 2068 kPa)

What tools and equipment are needed for car A/C repair and refilling?

The following tools and equipment may be required:

Pressure gauge – Measures pressure in the A/C system.
Vacuum pump – Removes air and moisture before refilling.
Wrenches and hose tools – Used for connecting hoses and preventing refrigerant leaks.
Refill hose – Used to charge the system with refrigerant.
Leak detection lamp – Identifies refrigerant leaks.
Spanners and socket wrenches – For assembling/disassembling system components.
Diagnostic computer system – Reads errors and checks system components.
Leak detection agents – Helps identify refrigerant leak points.
Cleaning agents – Cleans dirt and moisture from the system.
Seal and compression ring replacement kit – For replacing damaged seals and rings.
