5 car air conditioning solutions

Has your car air conditioner stopped working? With the onset of the spring heat, it is important to prepare the car. Here are 5 Air conditioning services which will help you feel comfortable in the warm season. 

Replacing the cabin air filter

The cabin air filter protects your vehicle from dirt, pollen and other hazards when the air conditioner is running. However, when the cabin air filter becomes old and dirty, it can slow down or block the flow of cold air into the vehicle. It also causes your car's AC system to work more than it should, which can cause more serious problems down the road. An air filter replacement can improve interior air quality, improve your car's air conditioning performance, and protect the longevity of your car's air conditioning system. 

AC performance test and diagnostics

Are you wondering if your air conditioner could work better? An air conditioner performance test will give experts the opportunity to evaluate how your air conditioner is performing. If there is a problem, a professional can perform diagnostics to determine where it comes from. They will then work with you to come up with a repair plan.

Charging the air conditioning system and flushing with refrigerant

Your vehicle's air conditioner requires the correct level of refrigerant to function properly. A refrigerant leak will immediately affect the operation of the air conditioner. During Recharging the AC system, a technician will work to correct the source of the problem and its symptoms by finding and repairing the leak and replenishing the refrigerant level.

The technician will begin by injecting a UV dye into your air conditioning system. This will help them locate the refrigerant leak. Once the leak is found and repaired, your mechanic will use special equipment to remove all of the old refrigerant from your vehicle and replace it with fresh refrigerant to repair and top up your vehicle's A/C system.

Car Air Conditioner Cleaning

When you notice an unusual smell while your car's air conditioner is running, there may be mold or bacteria in the air. This often builds up in your evaporator when the drain tube becomes clogged, causing water to remain in your system. Clogged drain pipes can affect the performance of your air conditioner and damage your system over time. A technician can clean the drain tube and evaporator to restore air conditioning performance and eliminate mildew odor.

Repair and replacement of air conditioner parts

Like most car systems, your air conditioner has several different components that need to be in good working order for your air conditioner to work properly. This includes your—

• AC evaporator
• AC thermal expansion valve
• AC Capacitor
• AC compressor
• AC battery or dryer

If there is a problem with any of these parts of your AC system, it must be professionally repaired or replaced before your system can function properly.
