Stay comfortable in anywhere with Speed Power's air conditioning maintenance services. As part of its services, Speed Power will perform vent tests and inspect air conditioning controls and cooling systems, drive belts and hoses, and visually inspect all components and connections for leaks.

 

OUR AIR CONDITIONING SERVICES

Every ride in your car should be cool and comfortable. That's why we offer a variety of air conditioning services and repairs. We specialize in the following key services:

 

A/C DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR

Our standard A/C Performance Check Service includes the following:

  • visually inspect a/c components

  • run performance test including:

    • system state of charge test

    • system control test

    • perform leak test using approved electronic leak detector

If a slow leak cannot be detected, a dye detection service may need to be performed.

 

A/C RETROFIT

Our A/C Retrofit service may be needed for vehicles made before 1993, which use costly refrigerant for air conditioning.

The service includes the following:

  • visually inspect existing a/c system

  • convert system to use modern refrigerant

  • if conversion cannot be performed, installation of new compressor may be necessary

The air conditioning system works by removing the heat from air inside your vehicle and transferring that heat to the outside air. What is left when the heat and humidity have been removed is cooler, more comfortable air.

 

To remove the heat, the system relies on several key components including a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, pressurized refrigerant, valves and hoses—all controlled electronically.

 

For this system to work correctly and be ready for the hot weather, it needs to be free from leaks so that the refrigerant stays in the system. Although A/C systems are resistant to leaks and contamination, they are not leak-proof. Over time, contamination or leaks can appear and affect the cooling performance of your A/C system.

 

In fact, the most common cause of inadequate cooling is when the refrigerant leaks through worn seals and o-rings, loose fittings and connections. To make sure all the parts and components of your A/C system are working properly, we recommend having your A/C system checked by follow the vehicle maintenance schedule.

 

Your auto care advisor can recommend an A/C Performance Check to test for any worn hoses or seals, leaks or contamination and to make sure your vehicle is ready for the warm weather.

 

It is important to note that some refrigerants used in automotive A/C systems are considered harmful to the environment. At SPEED POWER CAR AUTO AND AIR COND SERVICE CENTRE, we take great care to protect the environment while we are servicing the system.
