Maintenance - Air Conditioning

To guarantee long-term and perfect functioning of the air conditioning, the key components compressor, condenser, evaporator and expansion valve should be checked over regularly in an annual air-conditioning check-up. Since the system works under permanent pressure, its components are exposed to a natural wearing process. Hoses and seals also age, dry out and can then become leaky. This leads to refrigerant escaping, which in turn reduces the cooling capacity. A system check-up and replenishment of the refrigerant quantity can remedy the situation.

In addition, an air-conditioning service is recommended every two years.  During this service, the refrigerant is changed, air-tightness checked and the dryer replaced if necessary.
