Automotive Air Conditioning Service Addison

There is nothing worse than driving in a car without air conditioning during the hot summer months. Once you start noticing weak air flow in your vehicle get it checked out right away. You’re more likely to prevent serious AC damage the sooner you get it checked out. AC performance inspections could catch small issues right away. Contact us today to schedule automotive air conditioner service. 

Causes of weak air flow

1. Broken Ventilation Fan- if the fan is broken, the air will not be able to flow properly or at all in your vehicle, causing weak air flow.
2. Mold- mold or mildew might have formed in your evaporator core from moisture that forms during the cooling process.
3. Loose Hose- when a hose becomes loose it causes wear air flow to the blower vent. If the vent does not get air flow than it won’t be able to flow properly throughout your vehicle.
4. Seals- when the evaporator core seal or the blower seal opens, it will compromise the entire unit.

Why doesn’t my car’s AC unit work like it used to?

An AC unit might not be working for a number of reasons. If yours is not working, bring it into an auto shop right away. Getting the air conditioner checked early on will help prevent serious and costly repairs or replacements. If you wait to get it repaired you could be jeopardizing other parts. Low air conditioning flow could be caused by:

• Leak
• Failed motor
• Leak in vacuum
• Failed Switch
• Clogged refrigerant charging hose
• Failed compressor

Automotive Air Conditioning Line Leak Repair Addison

• A sniffer is also used to smell leaks. It is a machine that smells the refrigerants chemical components to determine if there is a leak.
• Black lights are used to detect leaks. A lot of refrigerants are pre mixed with a special UV dye that can be seen under the black light. An auto shop can shine the black light over the refrigerant to detect dye. 

Why does my car’s AC unit smell?

Sometimes the air conditioner in your vehicle starts to smell up your car with an awful odor. If your AC smells bad when it is turned on, get it checked out right away. The smell could indicate that you need a filter changed, a drain is blocked somewhere, or there is mold starting to form.
