Millers Garage is one of Newbury's most experienced vehicle air conditioning speclists, we have the latest in specialist servicing and diagnostic equipment for all air conditioning and climate control systems. All out technicians have the latest F-Gas qualification which we need to have to legally handle refrigerant. How the system works: A/c and climate control systems work the same as a fridge, The compressor pumps the liquid R134a refrigerant round the system. so much that the liquid heats up, it then passes through the radiator (condenser) at the front of the vehicle to cool , it then compresses the liquid refrigerant so much it is as it passed through either a fixed orifice tube or THC valve it turns to gas causing super cooling in the system, this then passes through a small radiator (evaporator) inside the vehicle, the air is then blown through this evaporator up thought the heater ducks in to the vehicle. System maintenance: The compressor is a vital component which can be very expensive to replace, the pump relies on oil in the system to keep lubricated much the same as an engine does, this is why we recommend an a/c system service every 24,000 miles or 2 years We also recommend that every 24,000 miles or 2 years you have passenger cabin antibacterial service carried out, this service kills all the harmful bacteria that's growing in the heater ducks, this bacteria can cause colds, flue or even legionnaires disease. Services offered:
Winter usage: Most people don't know that you can use your a/c system on the hot setting too, this helps to demist the car much quicker, the evaporator attracts all the moisture in the air in much the same was a cold glass of water does on a summers day. Top Tip:Also using this system briefly every day to demist keeps the seals in the system lubricated not allowing the gas to leak out over the winter
