Oil and Electricity don’t mix!

Please read the attached technical news letter at your leisure. The story is about a 2020 Electric Vehicle that had AC service done with equipment that was not up to scratch. The equipment allowed conductive oil into the High Voltage Aircon Compressor with VERY expensive damage as a result.

Do not get caught. To make things more complex, we see these issues appear usually 3 to 5 months after the contamination has occurred. Very hard to fall back onto for example your Fridgee contractor, how do you prove that it was their fault? And how do you get compensation out of any insurance? The case described is still being fought, that is why there are no identifying attributes in the article.

I hope the article makes you think, and look for our equipment’s quality when you want to do AC service. Enjoy the read.
