Car Air Conditioning: an overview
In Nairobi traffic, a working air conditioner is more than a comfort — it keeps the windscreen clear and helps you stay alert. If your AC blows warm air, smells musty or makes noise, we can find out why.
Problems we can help with
- AC blowing warm or weak air
- Bad smell from the vents
- Noise when the AC is switched on
- Windows misting up
- AC works intermittently
What we do
We test system performance and pressures, check the compressor, condenser, fans and electrical controls, and look for refrigerant leaks. Repairs are quoted before any work begins. Once repaired, the system is recharged to the vehicle's specification and vent temperatures are checked.
We also replace cabin filters, which affect airflow and smell.
For AC maintenance, we check cooling performance, clean or replace the cabin filter, and inspect the condenser, belts and hoses — a quick check that keeps the system working well and catches small leaks early.

Car Air Conditioning: frequently asked questions
Does my AC just need a regas?
If the refrigerant level is low, there is usually a leak somewhere. We check for leaks so the fix lasts, rather than simply topping up.
Why does my AC smell?
Musty smells are often caused by a dirty cabin filter or moisture in the system. Replacing the filter and treating the system usually helps.
