AIR CON LEAK DETECTION, FAULT FINDING & REPAIR

Has Your Air Conditioning Stopped Working? Are You Concerned That It Has A Leak or Fault? Need an auto air con repair specialist?

 

​If your vehicle air conditioning has stopped working completely there may be a leak somewhere within the system and it will need air conditioning repair. We always carry out a nitrogen leak test if your air con has stopped working, and it is included with our aircon service & regas. It is a legal requirement to ensure that the auto ac system is not leaking before it can be regassed, as air con refrigerant is harmful to the environment.

​​

During a leak test we will fill the system with nitrogen. We then closely monitor the system whilst it is under pressure to see whether the pressure remains constant or drops. If a leak is present we can detect it and diagnose the part at fault. In some instances, we also use a range of other leak detection methods including: leak detection agent, which will bubble / foam on contact with a leak; UV light if the system has previously been filled with UV leak dye; and electronic refrigerant leak detector or 'sniffer, which detects a leak using a sensor.  A fully sealed auto ac system is essential to ensuring your vehicle air conditioning is running efficiently. It is very important to keep the aircon system well maintained with regular services at least every 2 years and that any vehicle air conditioner repairs are carried out by an air con specialist.  

As well as leak detection we also offer air con fault finding and diagnosis. If the vehicle air conditioning is still not working, even after a air con recharge, we can help diagnose any further problems and offer mobile aircon repair.
