AC System Problems in Cars
Many factors can contribute to your AC malfunctioning or working less efficiently. These include:
- Condenser problems, such as clogging and leaks
- There is not enough refrigerant in the system
- Non-responsive pressure switches
- The compressor needs to be repaired
- Broken belt
- Moisture and debris are clogging the filters
- A leaky AC system
- The control head of the AC is malfunctioning
A low refrigerant level is often responsible for poor AC performance. In any case, our Longmont technicians will inspect your entire air conditioning system to determine whether low refrigerant is the only problem, and recommend a cost-effective fix if they find other problems.
Using a DIY can from the store to "recharge" your AC is not recommended. If refrigerant is added unnecessarily or incorrectly, your AC system can be irreparably damaged.
Vehicle AC Repair Warning Signs
- If you hear strange sounds coming from your vents or under the hood, your air conditioner might be malfunctioning.
- A strange odor in your vehicle may be caused by more than your gym clothes in the back. There is a possibility that your EVAPORATOR is full of bacteria.
- Inconsistent temperatures can be a sign of problems with your compressor.
