Project details
Our client, a proud owner of a VW T6, faced a common dilemma for many van owners: the lack of integrated air conditioning, especially noticeable during warmer periods. Their search for a reliable and expert service to retrofit AC to their T6 proved challenging, with our client noting that Alpinair appeared to be the “only place in the South of England” offering this specialised service. The primary need was to provide a robust, effective cooling solution that could transform their van into a comfortable space, even in hot weather.
Retrofitting a complete air conditioning system into a vehicle like the VW T6 is a complex undertaking. It demands not only precise mechanical installation but also seamless integration with the existing electrical systems, ensuring a factory-like finish and reliable long-term performance.

- Precise Component Integration: Our skilled technicians carefully installed the new air conditioning unit, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and all necessary pipework and electrical connections. This process involved significant dismantling and reassembly to ensure a clean, OEM-standard fit.
- Rigorous System Testing: Post-installation, the system underwent thorough testing. This included vacuum testing for leaks, precise refrigerant charging, and comprehensive performance checks to guarantee efficient and powerful cooling.
- Flawless Finish: We ensured that the final installation was not only functionally perfect but also aesthetically seamless, giving the impression that the AC was always part of the van’s original specification.
