Summer Heat and Air Con Checks—Don’t Sweat It!
Well, we’ve finally experienced some summer weather here in Halifax—genuine sunny days that might make you feel like you’ve mistakenly arrived in Spain!ly arrived in Spain! With the heat comes the moment when you step into your car, turn on the key, and anticipate a refreshing blast of cold air, only to be met with a sigh of disappointment.
We’ve had quite a few customers popping in recently with air con complaints. Most of the time, it’s nothing major—the gas has just run low and needs topping up. Your car’s air conditioning system, like anything else, needs a bit of TLC to keep working properly.
The proud owner presented us with a beautiful red Jaguar just the other day. After conducting a thorough inspection, we discovered that the condenser was malfunctioning. A quick replacement later, and the air con was back to its full icy glory. This resulted in another satisfied customer and a car that is now ready for summer driving!
At Pellon Tyres and Autocentre, we offer full air conditioning system checks and re-gassing services. It’s a quick job that makes a huge difference, especially if you’re planning any summer road trips. A well-maintained system keeps you cool and helps demist your windscreen in winter too—so it’s useful all year round.
How Does Air Con Work in a Car? Jaguar in for Aircon Condenser
In simple terms, your car’s air con works by removing heat and moisture from the air inside the vehicle. The system relies on a special refrigerant gas, a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a few other components. Over time, the refrigerant can leak out or become less effective, which is why your cold air turns lukewarm—or disappears altogether.
The condenser, like the one we replaced on the Jaguar, is a key part. It’s like a mini radiator that cools down the gas from the compressor and turns it back into a liquid. Blockage or damage prevents the system from performing its function properly.

A Bit of History About Pellon Tyres
Pellon Tyres has been part of the Halifax community since 1989, when I took over a small section of the company from a retired chap who was sadly retiring due to illness. Back then, it was just a modest little garage, but over the years we’ve gradually expanded, bit by bit, to take over the full site we have today.
We have always operated as a family-run business, supported by a loyal team that maintains a strong focus on providing good, honest service. From puncture repairs to MOTs and everything in between, we’ve grown into a trusted local name—and we’re proud to still be here helping drivers from Halifax and beyond, more than 30 years later.
Stay cool!
