AC SERVICE AND RECHARGE
Here are the top reasons to bring your car in for AC service
1. Weak or No Cool Air
If the air blowing from your vents isn't cold enough—or not cold at all—your system may be low on refrigerant or have a leak.
2. Unusual Smells from Vents
Musty or foul odors can signal mold or bacteria buildup in the AC system, often in the evaporator. A service can fix this.
3. Strange Noises When AC is On
Clicking, banging, or rattling could mean debris in the system or failing components like the blower motor or compressor
4. Visible Leaks or Moisture
Puddles under your car or inside the cabin may indicate refrigerant or condensation drainage issues—both are signs the system needs attention.
5. Inconsistent Cooling
If the temperature fluctuates while driving, your AC may be low on refrigerant or have a failing pressure switch, expansion valve, or sensor.
6. AC Only Works While Driving
This could indicate a failing condenser fan or low refrigerant. It needs inspection to avoid complete failure.
7. Preventive Maintenance
Even if the AC seems fine, regular checkups ensure optimal performance and catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
8. Improve Fuel Efficiency
A faulty AC system can overwork the engine, especially if the compressor is struggling. A recharge or repair can restore balance.
