Common A/C Problems
Is your vehicle suffering from one of these common problems? Here’s what they mean and what to do about them.
Bad Smell
Bad smells could be coming from mold in the air conditioning system, as the moist conditions are the perfect environment for mold to grow. If this is the case for you, a damp and dirty air filter might need to be replaced. We may also need to check the drain in the evaporator case.
Hot Air
Does your car’s air get cold? When only hot air comes out of the vents, there could be a serious problem with the refrigerant. A corrosive acid forms when it mixes with water and could cause damage to A/C components. If left unaddressed, this problem could lead to very costly repairs! If your air doesn’t get cold, visit us as soon as possible!
Strange Sounds
If you only hear strange sounds when your air conditioning is running, there’s a good chance that something isn’t working properly. It could be caused by a failing compressor, contaminated refrigerant, or leaks.
Leaks
Vehicle A/C systems use corrosive chemicals, which means that leaks can be extremely damaging to other components and the environment. Performance problems could be the result of a dangerous leak, so don’t delay your visit to the experts for repair!
