Many cabin air filters need to be replaced because they are clogged. A clogged cabin air filter will restrict the airflow through the AC system. This can cause it to lose its cooling power and ultimately, blow out. A blocked cabin air filter will also reduce ventilation, making it more difficult for the car to maintain a comfortable temperature. Firestone Complete Auto Care will inspect your filter and provide you with a manual.

The air-conditioning system is made up of three main parts: the compressor, evaporator, and condenser. All these parts are connected via a series of sensors and valves. A technician will usually be required to nitrogenize the system in order to stop a leak. Although this isn't expensive, it will take about an hour of labor at an average auto repair shop.
It is possible that your A/C is producing excessive heat. The water that gets into your A/C reacts with the refrigerant, creating a highly corrosive agent that can literally eat away at your system. The acid can damage rubber seals that stop the refrigerant's leaking. Leakage of refrigerant can result in a reduction in your A/C’s cooling power.
Low levels of refrigerant is the main reason why air conditioning doesn't work in a car. The unit's refrigerant level will be less than.5 ounces each year because it is sealed. Any loss above.5 ounces constitutes a leak. When the refrigerant levels are low, it is necessary to identify what caused them to drop. A blockage in the system or restriction is the second most common problem. Air conditioning problems can also be caused by the compressor not working properly or failing to create enough pressure.
