Is My Air Conditioning in Good Shape?

Pride Auto Care has the credentials and the ASE certified (and MACS—Mobile Air Conditioning Society) certified technicians to service and repair your system to help keep you cool! Even a weak AC system in your car can have some “happy effect” on you and your passengers on a hot day, but let’s look at what it takes to keep your car’s AC working properly and up to full capability.

Common Vehicle AC Problems:

• Leaks. Leaks can occur in the refrigerant lines, hoses, or seals and decrease the system’s efficiency.
• AC Compressor Failure - Condenser build up
• Lack of Refrigerant.
• Clogging. Clogged air filters
• Blown Fuses. Damaged Wires. Broken Temperature Sensor. 

Signs Your Vehicle AC System Needs Attention:

Warm or Hot Air Blowing on Cold Setting:

• Sign: Your AC blows hot or warm air instead of cool air.
• Schedule an AC inspection to identify and address the issue. Your air conditioning compressor may be malfunctioning, have a leak, or need recharging and refrigerant.

Weak AC Airflow:

• Sign: Reduced or weak airflow from the vents.
• Your AC blower motor may be malfunctioning or need replacement. A motor that is weak on any temperature often points to the motor as the issue. Let Pride Auto Care diagnose the problem and provide car AC repair to restore optimal airflow and cooling.

Unpleasant Odors:

• Sign: Foul or musty smells when the AC is running.
• A thorough AC system cleaning can eliminate unpleasant odors. Additionally, replacing your cabin air filter can help.

Strange Noises:

• Sign: Unusual sounds, such as squealing or grinding, or screeching when the AC is on.
• The culprit can be a clogged filter or blocked vent. High pitched whistling sounds often indicate a clogged evaporator core. It could also be an issue with belts in your engine and completely unrelated to your AC. Immediate inspection to identify the issue and prevent potential AC system failures, or other engine problems.

When to Seek Air Conditioning Service:

• Warm or hot air blowing, or Weak Airflow: If your AC isn't cooling as it should, schedule an inspection.
• Unpleasant Odors: Strange smells may indicate mold or bacteria growth; a cleaning service is recommended.
• Strange Noises: Unusual sounds may signal impending AC system failure; immediate attention is crucial.
