Air conditioning is one of those modern motoring luxuries that is easy to take for granted. Air conditioning makes sure you can control the temperature and climate inside your BMW – whether that’s cool in the summer or pleasantly warm in the winter – and means you can enjoy the ideal climate when driving.
To ensure your air conditioning is functioning to its best, you should have your system regularly inspected and serviced. Here at Dick Lovett BMW, our team of Approved Technicians are fully trained in all aspects of BMW air conditioning service.
We offer two kinds of air conditioning service – a recharge or a refresh. They can check for any leaks, test pressure settings are correct, and conduct an air conditioning recharge (also known as regassing) if required. They can also clean the air conditioning system to remove any bacteria, treat the air vents, and keep everything fresh.
You can book air con servicing at any of Dick Lovett’s BMW dealerships, in Bristol, Hungerford (near Andover and Newbury), Melksham (near Bath) or Swindon from just £39.
Air conditioning uses refrigerant gas to keep running cool, but this gas doesn’t last indefinitely. If you find that the air-con isn’t as cold as it used to be, it might be time for your BMW to have some air con servicing and regassing. Regassing removes the old refrigerant gas and replaces it with new gas. This is covered by a BMW Air Conditioning Recharge. It includes full system checks, inspecting for any possible leaks, and draining the old gas before refilling with new refrigerant.
It’s a relatively quick and simple part of a BMW air conditioning service, but if you don’t book your car in for a regas, you’ll probably notice the air-con becoming increasingly less effective over time.
A BMW Air Conditioning Refresh is the other type of air con servicing. A refresh service involves a technician cleaning and disinfecting the duct systems and treating the air vents to maintain that fresh ‘new car’ scent.
Just like other working parts of your BMW, regular servicing by skilled and experienced technicians is advised – we want your vehicle to be in prime condition. If you’re asking ‘how often should I get my car air conditioner serviced?,’ the recommended interval for a BMW air conditioning service is every two years.
You may choose instead to wait until you notice the air-con isn’t producing cool air. That might mean that your car will find it harder to demist its windscreen in wintry weather, or to achieve the right climate control when it’s hot.
Regular air con servicing from Dick Lovett BMW will make sure you don’t experience a decline in performance.
The cost of an air conditioning service for a BMW differs depending on the model and the type of air con servicing you have. A BMW Air Conditioning Recharge starts from £79, while the price of a BMW Air Con Refresh starts from £39.
The cost of a BMW Air Conditioning Recharge includes the evacuation of old gas, a pressure and leak test, and the installation of new gas with UV dye and lubricant, which helps to maintain AC system seal integrity. The cost of the BMW Air Conditioning Refresh includes a disinfect of the airflow system to combat bacterial growth.
If you book both types of BMW air conditioning service with Dick Lovett, you can enjoy a £19 saving – paying just £99 in total.
