First, clean the cabin air filter. Sometimes the filter may be difficult to reach so it will need to be removed. For tips and instructions, check the owner's manual if you are a novice. To access the cabin air filter, you may need to disassemble the car or remove the plastic covers underneath the dash. After that, clean the cabin filter and replace it with a clean one.
Leakage in your AC is bad news. But what are the causes? The short answer is age and moisture. Your A/C's rubber hoses and seals lose their elasticity over time. Freon can escape while moisture can enter. Your A/C's refrigerant reacts with moisture to create a corrosive agent that damages it from the inside. This should be investigated and repaired by a qualified mechanic.
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.

No matter what the weather, it is important to keep your coolant system in good condition. This will prevent overheating and expensive repairs.
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.
DIY-ers will be able to change the cabin air filter for as little as $20. It can also be done at your home. You can call a professional mechanic if the task is too difficult for you. Sometimes, a professional mechanic might even offer to fix it for you. Do not hesitate to get an estimate if you are unsure about the cost.
