How’s Your Air Conditioner?
Freon- Cars use smaller components these days and can only hold half the amount of Freon as they used to. This means the Freon levels need to be checked more often; approximately every two to three years. If your a/c is running cool instead of cold, it is definitely time for a checkup. All components must work harder to pump the lower fluid, causing overheating and premature failure. This is a costly fix.
Testing the A/C System: A technician must test the system to determine what is wrong with it. This requires a test for leaks and an inspection of the parts such as the compressor, condenser, hoses, and valves. Regular checks mean a lower cost.
Leaking Hose: Finding and fixing a leak in the A/C system can take time and isn’t as easy at it sounds. Fixing the leak and adding Freon as needed is important.
Broken Compressor: This is the most complex of all to fix.
Working on air conditioning systems is not easy. The system itself is built in and around your car’s engine making it difficult. Specialized equipment is required and a technician that is certified in this area is a must. In some countries it is illegal for a non-authorized technician to work on A/C systems. A non-experienced technician can inadvertently cause problems and contaminate the environment.
