It's a common misconception that you only need air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer months. Whilst the ability to turn the car into a fridge for our one day of British summer warmth is very nice indeed, the main purpose of air conditioning is to dehumidify the air within the vehicle to keep the screens from misting up with moisture.

We would go so far as to say that Aircon is more important in winter than summer!

Keeping the system in full running order makes sense all year round. Your vehicle’s air conditioning system not only keeps the temperature right for you and your passengers, it also filters out pollen, dust and deposits from fumes, and minimises condensation.

Continuous use of your air conditioning helps to maintain the system’s optimum performance, but to keep your system operating at peak efficiency, the pollen micro-filters should be maintained at regular intervals and the correct level of refrigerant gas should be checked and replaced.
