Summer is just around the corner; don’t find yourself having trouble beating the heat with a faulty auto air conditioning system. Your car’s air conditioner is a closed system that condenses and evaporates a refrigerant to cool down the air before it blows through your vents. If you start your vehicle, turn up the A/C, and that cold air never comes, there is something wrong with your A/C system.
Our professional mechanics at
United Tire & Service in Pennsylvania
, can diagnose your vehicle’s exact A/C problem and suggest the necessary repairs. If your A/C isn’t blowing cold air, it could be a variety of problems, some easy to repair, and some more expensive than others. Don’t wait for costly damages to occur, there are several tell-tale signs that your car’s air conditioning system is likely failing.
A/C Repair Warning Signs
Difference in cooling:
The most obvious sign that
A/C repair
is necessary is a difference in cooling. When you increase the air flow of you’re A/C system, and you only feel faint cool air movement, no matter how high you turn the dial, something is wrong. It could be something as simple as debris blocking the evaporator or condenser, or the compressor, which is responsible for pumping the refrigerant through the system.
Loud noises when the A/C is turned on:
If you hear loud noises, like a grinding or a squealing sound while the A/C is running in your car, that could be a sign that the compressor is experiencing a problem. The compressor helps extract hot air from your vehicle by compressing the hot gas and pumping it through the condenser and evaporator so you can enjoy cool air in your vehicle. Continuous use will take its toll, and your compressor will begin to fail.
You notice an oil leak:
As your vehicle ages, hoses may dry rot, clamps can rust, and other faults may cause leaks. If the A/C evaporator, compressor, condenser, lines, or fittings are compromised in any way, they may leak both refrigerant and compressor oil, which will obstruct the ability of the A/C system.
Preventative maintenance
of your vehicle’s A/C system can help detect any signs of a refrigerant/oil leak before it becomes a major problem.
Foul smell:
An odor emanating from your air vents indicates that your cabin
air filter
needs replacing or a mold or mildew accumulation. If addressed early, the fix could be as simple as unclogging the drain, but if that trapped moisture gets into your system, then you have a much bigger problem to deal with.
