With summer only around the corner, workshops are getting ready for “aircon” season. Those 40-degree days, which can’t be too far away, will surely test many vehicles on our road.
Now is a good time to invest in equipment to tackle the season and beyond. With more vehicles running climate-controlled HVAC systems, the aircon often runs consistently, now resulting in more air conditioning service work throughout the year.
In the world of refrigerants, there has been a continuing transition from R134a to 1234yf in new vehicles. As the new gas becomes more common, it’s an excellent time to consider equipment set up for the 1234yf refrigerant: this season, Snap-on offers the Blizzard QTECH IV and Breeze IV.
Both are fully automatic airconditioning service units. The Blizzard and Breeze units are said to be perfect for any level of expertise in the workshop. Indeed, Snap-on states that from the apprentice to the Master Tech, completing an aircon service will be a breeze.
Sold and configured in your selected refrigerant formant of either HFO-1234yf or R134a, these units are among the most modern air-conditioning service and re-gassing solutions on the market. Both are designed to make the job quicker, easier, and more profitable.
Blizzard QTech IV
The Blizzard QTech IV is an advanced air-conditioning service unit, available in either R134a or HFO-1234yf models.
