🌡️ How to Tell If Your Air Conditioning Needs Repair
Your air conditioning system should blow ice-cold air when running at full power. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to get it checked:
✅ Reduced Cooling Power – Set the temperature to the lowest setting and turn the fan up. If the air isn’t as cold as it used to be, your system might need a re-gas or repair.
✅ Weak Airflow – If air isn’t blowing as strongly, a blocked pollen filter or failing fan motor could be to blame.
✅ Warm Air Instead of Cold – A sign of low refrigerant gas or a failing compressor.
💡 Pro Tip: Getting your air conditioning checked before summer ensures maximum efficiency when you need it most!
🦠 Why Does My Aircon Smell Musty?
If you smell a musty odour when turning on your air conditioning, it could be due to:
🔹 Mould or bacteria growing in the aircon system.
🔹 A clogged pollen filter filled with dirt and debris.
🔹 Moisture buildup in the system, causing bad odours.
Solution: A deep clean of the air conditioning system, including a bacterial treatment and pollen filter replacement, can eliminate odours and improve air quality.
💡 Did You Know? Running your aircon regularly (even in winter) helps prevent bacteria buildup and keeps the system in good shape.
🔧 Why Should a Trained Professional Re-Gas My Air Conditioner?
Modern Peugeot air conditioning systems are designed to hold a precise amount of refrigerant gas. Too much or too little can cause:
⚠️ Compressor damage – Overfilling the system can strain components.
⚠️ Reduced cooling – An incorrect gas level leads to poor performance.
⚠️ Increased fuel consumption – A faulty aircon system forces your engine to work harder.
At Chandler Motor Company, our trained technicians use specialist tools and equipment to safely re-gas your aircon to manufacturer specifications.
