Kedron Car Electrics and Air Conditioning.

Air conditioning, which was once a luxury, is now a common feature on most vehicles. While the servicing of car air conditioning systems is best left to professionals, you can get the most enjoyment from your system if you know a bit about how it works and what malfunctions you should be on the lookout for.

Automotive Air-Conditioning
Vehicle air conditioning is an absolute necessity in the Australian climate.
Kedron Car Electrics and Air Conditioning are licensed Automotive Air-conditioning Specialists with over 44 years experience.

We offer air-conditioning re-gas, repair & conversion for all vehicle makes and models at highly competitive prices. We repair or supply and fit compressors, condensers, receiver driers, accumulators and TX valves for a wide range of vehicle makes and models.

Air-Conditioning Conversion
In 1989, the Australian Government restricted the use of refrigerant R12 under the Ozone Protection Act, thus requiring replacement of the use of R12 with the environmentally friendly R134a gas. Recent legislative changes have broadened the original ozone depletion protection (ODP) to cover synthetic greenhouse gases including Fluorocarbon (HFCs) refrigerants such as R134a. Because R134a is a restricted substance under the new Commonwealth legislation only trained, licensed technicians can purchase, handle and sell it.

We strongly recommend R12 to R134a conversion (retro-fitting) for older vehicles conditioned to use the R12 gas, as R12 gas is no longer available to consumers.

Kedron Car Electrics and Air Conditioning has the necessary licenses, technical expertise and equipment to handle restricted refrigerants.

We quickly and efficiently diagnose faulty or leaky air-conditioning systems to minimise environmental effects. We routinely use Fluoro-Chek glo dye in R134a gas to detect leaks and protect the environment. This automotive airconditioning UV leak detector dye allows for easier detection of those slow & hard to find refrigerant leaks.

Using high quality electronic leak detectors is the fastest way to find most refrigerant leaks & this equipment is used after a repair & re gas for confirmation of system integrity for longer lasting and cooling efficiency in your car, 4WD or commercial vehicle.

We recommend that at anytime any part of the air-conditioning system is changed or serviced, the receiver-drier or accumulator should be replaced too to prevent corrosion and moisture in the aircon system (moisture combines with the refrigerant to form hydrochloric acid which is extremely corrosive to metal components and can damage other parts of the system).

So trust the guys at Kedron Car Electrics and Air Conditioning to check & re-gas your air-conditioning unit & stay cool every summer without adversely affecting the environment.
