Summertime is just around the corner, and as temperatures start to sizzle up, it’s essential to have your car’s air conditioning system working properly. Unfortunately, while a properly functioning AC system is vital to staying comfortable during summer road trips and daily commutes, AC breakdowns can be frustrating, inconvenient, and expensive.
Low refrigerant level:
One of the most common AC problems is low refrigerant level, possibly due to a leak in the AC system. We use leak detection tools and dye injection methods to locate and seal leaks. After sealing the leak, we recharge the AC system with refrigerant to return to optimal levels.
Dirty air filters:
The air filters in your car play a vital role in trapping dust, dirt, and other debris, especially during the summer months. Unfortunately, these filters become clogged over time, making it difficult for the AC system to keep up with demand. To ensure optimal performance, we recommend changing your air filters regularly, about every 12,000-15,000 miles, per your car manufacturer’s recommendation.
Electric problems:
Electric damage to the AC system, the compressor, and the blower fans may cause the AC system to malfunction. For example, you might notice your AC system blowing hot air, or the compressor might become harder to start. To diagnose and repair electrical AC problems, a mechanic will complete a check-up of the electrical system and repair any damage they find before replacing the faulty component.
Regular inspection, diagnosis, and maintenance of your AC system with an expert mechanic will ensure that it runs efficiently and saves you money. By addressing these common AC problems promptly, you’ll stay comfortable during the hot summer months and avoid more extensive and expensive problems down the road.
