When you turn on the air conditioning in your vehicle, you expect cool air to come out of the vents. You depend on it, especially in hot weather, but it can also be important when you need it to help defrost your windows and windshield in humid weather.

The air conditioning system has a lot of parts to it so AC repair can be a lot of different elements of your vehicle. It has fans and blowers to move the air through the vents into the cabin. It has parts that take hot air and cool it off. An electrical problem can be as simple as a broken switch or blower motor. The air may not be getting cool because a hose in the system is broken or the refrigerant has leaked out.
Two major components are the compressor and the condenser. The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, one step in the air conditioning process. The condenser takes that hot refrigerant and cools it down. It also reduces the pressure.
Because the climate control system in your vehicle is so complex, it’s best to leave the diagnosis to a trained, experienced technician. You can help the technician zero in on the problem by noting what is happening and being able to show them where you notice the issues. Note what’s going on and write it down.
When you bring your vehicle to us to look at, a technician will inspect the AC system, conduct tests to make sure there’s enough refrigerant, and check to make sure there are no leaks anywhere.
