If your vehicle’s air conditioning system is not blowing cold, chances are it is low on refrigerant, the fluid/gas found in the system. Theoretically, it is a sealed system and should never need to be topped up. So if it does, it is a clear indication that there is a leak.
There are environmental regulations that prohibit us from simply recharging the system without also detecting and repairing leaks. If the leak is minor and undetectable, we will add dye to the system when we recharge it. And the next time you bring in your vehicle, we can use a UV light to more easily identify the leaks and take steps to repair them.
When do you need AC service?
- Your A/C system doesn't cool the vehicle or blows hot air
- The fan/blower is very loud or does not work when set in A/C mode
- Vehicle stalls or idles roughly when A/C is turned on
- Unusual odors coming from interior vents
- The A/C unit has not been serviced in a long time
- Windows fog when the defroster is turned on
