Why do you need car air conditioning repair?
As we already mentioned, having AC in your car makes driving it a lot more comfortable when it’s exceedingly hot outside. In fact, it could be potentially dangerous to drive without it during a particularly fierce heatwave. However, it may surprise you to know that your car’s air conditioning does a lot more than just keep the temperature nice and cool.
When you have a fully functional auto air conditioning system, then it acts as a way of cleaning the air inside your car. The system contains a part called the AC inline filter, and this filters out troublesome things in the air – like pollen and bacteria – making it much easier for everyone to breathe. This is particularly important if you’re an allergy sufferer or have asthma – or even if your passengers are either of those things as well.
So, when your AC doesn’t work correctly, you lose out on a vital filtration system, and the air quality in your car gets worse.
Choose Accurate Automotive Services for Auto A/C Repair
Carrying out car air conditioning repair can be troublesome as numerous things could be wrong with the system. There are plenty of different components to a vehicles AC, such as the refrigerant, compressor, condenser, the filer we mentioned earlier, and more. As such, our first port of call is trying to identify where the issue is coming from and if there’s a problem with one particular part that we can easily fix.
Now, at Accurate Auto, we offer many vehicle diagnostics and repair services. Consequently, we know what to do when it comes to figuring out what’s wrong with a part of your car. It all boils down to the ‘symptoms’ your AC might have. If you’ve come to us for an auto AC repair, then we have to assume you’ve got some reasoning behind this. Most people come to us for these repairs as they feel like their air conditioning either isn’t as cold as it used to be or the airflow is a lot weaker than it should be.
If you come to us complaining of airflow issues, then we immediately know which steps to take to detect the cause of the issue. A lot of weak airflow problems come from the evaporator, which is responsible for moving refrigerant through the system. Sometimes, we will take a look inside your evaporator and see that the tubes are full of mold or mildew, which stops the flow and prevents air from getting through the internal air vents at its peak flow. Another common cause of a weak airflow is that the ventilation fan is completely dead and no longer blows air into your car correctly. So, we instantly look at these two problem areas to see if they’re the culprits of your issue.
But, if your issue is concerning the temperature of your AC, then there are multiple possible causes of this issue. The most common problem – and usually the worst one – is a refrigerant leak. Most modern cars use R134a as the refrigerant in their auto air conditioning. It’s pumped around the system to help create the cold air we know and love. It can leak due to problems with the orifice tube, which helps control levels of refrigerant. If there’s a leak here, then you have a significant issue on your hands. There could be leaks at any part of the system, and the best way to test this is by using a colored dye and putting it through your system. It will clearly show up if there are leaks, so this lets us identify if this is the issue and fix it.
Temperature issues can also be caused by a damaged evaporator or condenser, as well as problems with your compressor. We will provide a detailed check of the compressor to see if it’s functioning correctly and determine what might be wrong with it.
These issues all require some sort of extensive repair to your AC unit. However, the most common cause of air conditioning problems is simply just low refrigerant levels. As such, we carry out a recharging service where we pump new refrigerant into the system, which will usually sort out the problem. We can also add in some of the leak detection dye just to see if any leaks are present as well. If your air con works fine after recharging, then you know all the components are working fine, there are no leaks, and you’re good to go!
