Can you get sick from car air conditioning?

Yes. Sometimes, mould and bacteria can grow in the vents and filters of your car air con unit. These particles get circulated around your car, and you and your passengers will breathe it in. If your car air con emits a bad odour when you turn it on, even if it goes away after a few minutes, it’s best to get it checked out by a professional.

Once I've had my car air conditioning serviced at Natrad, how long should it last?

We’ll get your car air conditioning system back to pristine condition, so you shouldn’t need to have it serviced again for at least another two years. If you do experience any issues, we offer a 3-year warranty on our replacement parts and products, and will happily rectify any potential issues. It is important, however, to try to take good care of your A/C in the meantime. You can extend the length of time between services by doing things such as run your A/C regularly, even in winter, clean the air filters usually located behind the glove box and clear away debris in the exterior vents under the windshield.

How do I know if my car needs more coolant for the air con?

The coolant supply is an essential component in your car’s air conditioner. If it runs low, this can cause problems ranging from mild to severe. Signs that your car needs more coolant include the temperature gauge reads hotter than normal when you turn your car on, there are puddles of liquid beneath your car and you can hear a grinding noise coming from under the bonnet. To check your coolant levels yourself, check out our informative article . If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, you can visit your local Natrad workshop . We can check your coolant supply for you, and answer any other questions you may have.

If part of my car A/C needs replacing, do you have to replace the whole system?

Not at all. Because we partner with leading brands, we stock a huge range of OEM parts and products, and aftermarket components. So we can disassemble your system, and replace the damaged part, without affecting the whole unit. This makes the service cost-effective for all our customers, and means we can complete services efficiently so you can get back on the road in no time — with a working A/C for those hot Perth days.

So impressed the staff at Natrad Raymond Terrace picked up the problem (something my mechanic had inadvertently done), and it didn’t cost a fortune to fix. Will only ever go here in future. Thanks, guys.”

“After taking my 2007 Commodore back to the Holden dealer many times and being told that the air conditioner was fine, I finally got some good advice to take it to Natrad at Eaglehawk. They were fantastic, and I’m sure the amount of time they spent on it didn’t reflect in the final bill. I feel like I have a new car. I am now telling anyone who will listen that if they have any air conditioning problems, Natrad Eaglehawk is the place to go. Thanks, Glenn and the team.”

When you notice your car’s AC blowing warm air, releasing a musty smell or taking longer to cool, it’s time to get your system checked. Maintenance matters in Perth, where extreme heat and long summers increase wear on AC components. Regular servicing helps prevent leaks, reduce costly repairs and extend system life, making it a cost-effective way to avoid breakdowns when you need cooling most.

Contact Natrad for quality aircon parts

We offer a comprehensive range of high-quality air conditioning components designed for Australian conditions..

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.

Find out more

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.

Find out more

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.

Find out more

Heaters

Natrad stocks and installs a massive range of OE and aftermarket parts for heaters. In most cases, these parts are more reliable under Australian operating conditions.

Find out more

TX Valves

TX valves are responsible for converting hot refrigerant liquid into a cold vapour. If a TX valve fails, it can cause serious issues that affect your vehicle’s compressor and evaporator.

Find out more

A/C Fittings

A/C fittings are responsible for connecting your air-conditioning system’s main components. If left unchecked they can deteriorate and cause serious damage to other cooling parts.

FAQs about car air conditioning in Perth

How often should car air conditioning be serviced in Perth?
In Perth’s hot climate, car air conditioning should be serviced every 12 months. Regular servicing helps maintain cooling efficiency, prevent refrigerant leaks and reduce wear caused by prolonged heat exposure.
What are the signs that my vehicle's air conditioning system needs repair?
Hot air, weak airflow, unusual noises or musty smells are common signs that your car needs air conditioning repairs or service. These issues often indicate low refrigerant levels, leaks, or component wear and should be checked.
Does a car aircon regas fix all cooling problems?
A regas restores refrigerant levels but won’t fix leaks or faulty components. Natrad fully qualified technicians inspect the full system in Perth to ensure regassing delivers effective, long-term cooling performance.
Why does Perth's heat affect car air conditioning systems?
Extended high temperatures place extra strain on compressors, seals and refrigerant, affecting air quality. Without regular servicing, this can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of breakdowns during Perth’s hottest months.
Do you service different vehicle types in Perth?
Yes. Natrad offer maintenance, AC repair, and regas service for passenger vehicles, fleets, trucks and heavy machinery, providing specialist cooling support across a wide range of makes and models.
