How much does it cost to repair and replace a car's auto air conditioning parts?

It depends on the vehicle and the parts that need repairing or replacing. Simple repairs could involve rectifying an electrical fault or flushing the system clean. If major components such as the compressor have failed, then it will be more costly. A qualified technician has the equipment needed to identify these problems.

Is it best to use original equipment parts when repairing my air conditioning system?

Original equipment parts will meet the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications but can also have a higher cost. If the vehicle is under warranty, then OE parts will usually be fitted. Quality aftermarket parts can perform just as well (or sometimes even better) and offer very good value. Natrad can quote your repair with both and you can decide which you prefer.

Can I replace air conditioning system parts myself?

We recommend that a trained professional undertakes any part replacements for an air conditioning system. A qualified technician is legally required to perform the work if it involves removing or adding refrigerant gas.

How can I keep my air conditioning system in good condition?

The air conditioning system is sealed to keep the refrigerant gas from escaping. A small amount of special oil is present in the system and circulates with the gas to keep moving parts and seals properly lubricated. Operating your air conditioner for a few minutes every month (even in cold weather) will help to prevent the seals from drying out and leaking.

Our Auto Air Conditioner Parts Range

Compressors

Compressors work like a pump by taking in refrigerant. They contain several moving parts including pistons and valves that can wear out over time.

Condensers

Condensers are responsible for cooling the refrigerant from a compressor. They are usually located at the front of a vehicle and are often damaged in head-on collisions.

Evaporators

An evaporator acts as a heat exchange device for your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Over time, an evaporator can become corroded and start leaking.

Receiver Driers

A receiver drier temporarily stores oil and refrigerant when they’re not needed by the air conditioner. Damage may occur when excessive moisture gets into the air conditioning system.
