Springdale Import Auto Heating And Cooling Systems Repair
Timely and Professional
There are few things more unpleasant than getting into a cold car on a winter morning or a swelteringly hot car on a summer afternoon. A properly functioning heating and cooling system is essential to maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your vehicle, no matter what the weather is like outside.
How does an AC System work?
Your car’s AC system works by circulating a refrigerant through a series of coils. These coils remove heat from the air inside your car, then release it outside. The refrigerant constantly evaporates and condenses as it passes through the coils, which is how it removes heat from the air. Over time, however, the refrigerant level can drop too low. When this happens, your AC system won’t be able to work correctly and will need to be recharged.
What causes HVAC problems?
There are several possible causes of HVAC problems, including:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Damaged compressors
- Faulty electrical switches or relays
- Blocked airflow due to a dirty cabin air filter
Indications your A/C system may be having issues:
There are a few warning signs that your air conditioning may not be in top shape. If you notice any of the following, there could potentially be an issue; how cool or warm it blows inside compared to outside temperatures-the vents aren’t blowing as hard; water droplets form on windows during rainstorms rather than drying quickly like they should. The defroster takes longer than typical (or doesn’t work) before steaming up car panels. Your heater only operates when driving but not while idling; finally -and most importantly-, its blowers stop working altogether near full auto mode.
How often Should I have my AC System checked?
It’s generally recommended that you have your AC system checked once a year – preferably in the springtime before the summer heat hits. However, if you live in an area with particularly hot summers or cold winters, you may need to have it checked more often. Our technicians will be able to tell you how often you should bring your car in for servicing based on your specific situation.
Schedule Preventative Maintenance
A properly functioning heating and cooling system is vital to maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your vehicle year-round. Suppose you notice any unusual noises coming from the HVAC system, reduced airflow from the vents, or lukewarm air coming from the vents (when the heater is on), foul odors coming from the vents, excessive condensation inside the car, or cracks in the radiator hose. In that case, it’s time to bring your car in for a diagnostic test.
