Many of today’s cars are fitted with air conditioning to make driving more comfortable. Like all mechanical devices air conditioning systems need regular attention to make sure they remain efficient and hygienic.

  The bacteria in your car can be hazardous to your health!

  When air conditioning isn't in use, condensation builds up on the evaporator and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.  When warmer weather arrives and the air conditioning is turned on, these unpleasant and unhealthy bacteria can be vented into the cabin.  You may notice there is a problem because of an unpleasant smell. However quite often you can't tell you are breathing in these harmful bacteria.

   

  Benefits of Air Conditioning Decontamination:

   

  • Kills the mould and fungi that can affect your health and driving comfort.
  • Improves air quality.
  • Deodorises the interior of the vehicle.
  • Removes build up of bacteria colonies.
  • Includes a complete inspection of the entire air conditioning system.
  • Gives you and your family the peace of mind that you're travelling in a cleaner and healthier environment.
