AC blowing hot air
The system will need inspection and servicing
Yes, it should be serviced every 2 years
This is for two main reasons
Firstly, regular servicing ensures that your system operates at full charge of clean refrigerant, allowing it to function at its best and giving you and your passengers a comfortable drive.
Secondly, servicing keeps the system free from contaminants such as moisture and air; these contaminants will cause not only poor performance but also corrosion within your A/C system (leading to expensive, avoidable repairs).
To assist in preventing corrosion, the system has a filter called the receiver drier, which is designed to trap any moisture and remove it from the system.
While these filters are good, like any other filter, eventually, they require replacement. The recommendation is every 2 years or whenever the system has been open to the atmosphere.
Given their work and the protection they provide, replacement is an essential part of servicing your AC system correctly.
