A/C Service
A/C service is essential for keeping your vehicle’s air conditioning system running efficiently and comfortably, especially during hot weather. Over time, refrigerant levels can drop, filters can clog, and components like the compressor or condenser may wear out. Regular A/C maintenance includes checking refrigerant levels, inspecting hoses and connections, replacing cabin air filters, and testing overall system performance. Routine service ensures proper cooling, prevents costly repairs, and keeps your cabin air clean and comfortable.
Signs Your A/C Is Not Working
Your vehicle’s A/C is important when it comes to those hot summer days. When it stops working, that can be frustrating!
1. Weak or No Airflow
Little to no air coming from the vents can signal a blower motor or airflow blockage issue.
2. Warm Air Instead of Cold
If the A/C is blowing warm or room-temperature air, it could be due to low refrigerant or a failed compressor.
3. Strange Noises When A/C Is On
Clicking, grinding, or squealing sounds may indicate a problem with the fan, compressor, or other components.
4. Unpleasant Odors
Musty or moldy smells can point to mold buildup in the vents or a dirty cabin air filter.
5. Water Leaks Inside the Cabin
A clogged drain line can cause water to back up and leak into the passenger compartment.
6. A/C Only Works Intermittently
Inconsistent cooling could mean electrical issues, a failing sensor, or compressor trouble.
7. Foggy Windows Without Defogging
If your A/C isn’t clearing up humidity, it might not be properly dehumidifying the air. This can make things feel damp on the inside.
8. Dashboard Warning Lights
Some modern vehicles have climate control warning lights or codes that will let you know of any A/C problems.

Common FAQs About A/C Service
How often should I service my car’s A/C?
It’s recommended to have your A/C system checked at least once a year, especially before hot weather starts. You don’t want to be in the middle of summer and find out that your A/C isn’t working the way it should. However, if it does happen, we will still take care of the issue!
Why is my A/C blowing warm air?
Common causes include low refrigerant, a faulty compressor, a clogged condenser, or electrical issues. A technician can take a quick look and get to the root of the problem so you have an idea on how much the repairs will cost.
Is A/C service expensive?
Basic checks and recharges are usually affordable, but repairs to major components like compressors can be more costly. If you keep up on the maintenance, you will be less likely to have to spend money on larger repairs.
Why does my A/C smell bad when I turn it on?
Musty odors often indicate mold or bacteria in the vents or a dirty cabin air filter. You don’t want that mold or bacteria flying around your vehicle – you definitely want to get the root of the problem taken care of so you don’t have a continued recurrent issue.
Can a bad A/C affect my car’s performance?
A failing A/C compressor can put extra strain on your engine, potentially affecting performance and fuel economy. If you feel warmer than usual in your vehicle and you are spending more time at the gas pump than normal, you might want to get your A/C checked out.
What if my A/C only works sometimes?
Intermittent cooling can be due to electrical issues, low refrigerant, or a failing compressor clutch—a professional diagnosis is recommended. There’s going to be a reason behind it not working, but it really depends on how big of an issue it is.
