Cool, air-conditioned cars are the best way to cool off when temperatures rise. But, as time goes by, fittings can loosen and O-rings/hoses and seals begin to wear out. Then your refreshingly icy blast ceases! At great prices, our expert auto technicians provide quality A/C repair and service at a high level. Our H&I Automotive location will service your vehicle right the first-time. We guarantee it.
First, get rid of the clogged cabin filter. Sometimes the filter is difficult to reach and must be removed. For helpful and detailed instructions, refer to the owner's handbook if this is your first time. The cabin air filter may need to be removed from the car by disassembling it or taking off the covers underneath the dash. After that, you can replace the cabin air filter with a clean, new one.
If hot air is coming from your AC, it could indicate a serious problem. Water gets in your A/C through the combination of refrigerant and heat. This acid can cause severe damage to your system. Rubber seals can be destroyed by acid, which prevents the refrigerant leakage. Refrigerant that leaks can damage rubber seals and reduce cooling power.
Maybe it's a much easier fix. A bad terminal or poor connection to the under-dash fuse/relay can result in the setting of all the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Clogged filters can lead to reduced airflow or decrease defrosting capabilities. The cabin will become more polluted if it has less airflow. The condenser can be found behind the car's grille. However, road debris and other obstructions can reduce the efficiency of the condenser.
An odd smell coming from your air conditioner could be a sign that it needs attention. It could be that your A/C emits a strange odor in your face. You could have a damp or dirty cabin filter or a blocked drain from your evaporator.
Also, regular maintenance can help to prevent costly problems later on. You could have your A/C compressor stop getting the proper cooling or lubrication. All of the components of your vehicle’s A/C can be fixed by our skilled technicians. Firestone Complete Auto Care stores are available near you to handle your A/C repair and service needs.
