As the Engine Coolant cools you engine your air conditioning system is what controls the air temperature inside your vehicle. The HVAC system removes hot air from within your vehicle (which can exceed 130℉ in the summer!) and moves it to the outside. This ensures that you and your passengers have a safe, comfortable environment while you are driving. To ensure that your air conditioning is working properly, a technician will inspect the following components of your HVAC system:
Every component will be checked for leaks, cracks and other damage. Depending on the technician’s assessment, your vehicle may require a refrigerant flush and recharge to ensure it is matching your vehicle’s specifications for optimal performance. The technician will also assess the electrical components to ensure the system is working correctly.
Over time, cracks can appear and leak refrigerant through worn out seals, valves and other connections throughout the system. This is the most common issue with air conditioning systems, and can only be diagnosed with an inspection from a trained technician. It is recommended to Schedule Service before warm weather hits so that your vehicle is ready to handle the heat. If ignored, you may find your air conditioning underperforming, or not working at all, during the hot months.
