Car Air Conditioning Service & Repair

Over time, A/C components will break down from normal wear and tear, and that can lead to more costly repair expenses down the road. Regular A/C services can help you avoid a breakdown of your A/C. When A/C components wear down, they open the system up to moisture. Water mixed with refrigerant can form a compound which is highly corrosive. The A/Cidity can eat away seals and damage other components like O-rings, hoses, and fittings. Our expert technicians can do a performance check on your A/C to make sure it is working well, and they can inspect the system to make sure all its components are in good shape. They can even recharge your refrigerant levels and measure the output of your cabin’s A/C to ensure that it is cooling adequately.        

Common Signs of A/C Problems

• Hot air, not cold: If hot air is coming out, it can mean a major problem with your A/C. If there is water in the system and it mixes with the refrigerant, this can damage soft rubber components of the A/C and cause leakage, or it can corrode metal components causing them to seize up.
• Bad smells: Odd smells can also mean water in the system that causes mold and mildew. If it is not water in the system, it can mean a wet, dirty, or moldy cabin air filter. It could also be a blockage in the drain of the evaporator case.
• Low air flow or no flow: Too much moisture in the evaporator core can cause debris, mold, and mildew to build up and block airflow into your cabin. The lA/Ck of pressure can also mean a restriction in the evaporator core, or the blower motor may be damaged or worn out.

What Happens If I Don’t Maintain MY Car A/C?

Though the functionality of your car will still be there, you will lose your climate control, and the interior of the vehicle will be hot and humid. In the heat of summer, you will not only be uncomfortable, but it can also be potentially dangerous since the greenhouse effect in your car can make the interior considerably hotter than outdoors. It can also lead to more costly repairs. Generally, you should have your A/C inspected once a year, but consult your owner’s manual for this and all your other maintenance needs so you can be aware of the recommended maintenance schedules.
