How Often Should I Service
my Vehicles’ A/C System?
The air conditioning system or your car is a sealed system. In closed systems the only way you lose fluid is when you have a leak in the system. Having the air conditioning evaluated and recharged about every three is a good maintenance guideline, even if it seems to be working well.
Let Us Help Fixing Your Car
Your vehicle’s A/C system is constantly converting refrigerant from a liquid to a cold mist to a hot gas back into a liquid again. It does this over and over. The most common causes of broken A/C systems are leaks or compressor issues.
If your air conditioner is blowing cool but not cold, the problem could be a clogged filter, cooling fan.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most common signs are the system blowing warm air instead of cold, weak airflow, or unusual noises when the A/C is turned on. Another major indicator is a musty or damp smell coming from the vents. If you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend a professional inspection to prevent damage to the compressor.
On average, an A/C system loses about 10-15% of its refrigerant gas every year, even if there isn't a major leak. We recommend a "recharge" or "regas" service every 2 years. This ensures the system operates at peak efficiency and keeps the internal components properly lubricated.
Yes, absolutely. Over time, bacteria, mold, and fungi can grow inside the evaporator and air ducts, which causes unpleasant smells and can trigger allergies. Our service includes an antibacterial treatment (ozonation) and a cabin filter check to ensure the air you breathe inside the cabin is clean and safe.
A simple "regas" only adds new refrigerant. A "full service" at Aurex Auto is much deeper: we perform a vacuum test to check for leaks, remove old oil and moisture from the system, add fresh lubricant for the compressor, and refill the gas to the exact manufacturer specifications.
Yes. When the refrigerant level is low or the cabin filter is clogged, the A/C compressor has to work much harder and stay on longer to cool the cabin. This extra load on the engine can noticeably increase your fuel consumption. Keeping the system maintained actually helps you save money on fuel in the long run.
