An Air Conditioning Service Overview

Automotive air conditioning systems were once considered luxury items. Nowadays, however, most automobiles offer air conditioning, and it is downright terrible when the system doesn’t work. An ineffective AC system will lead to excessive sweating, dehydration, and general discomfort that can turn a normal drive into something completely unbearable.

Additionally, you might unknowingly be impacting your health and incurring additional air conditioning repair costs down the road. Therefore, it is recommended scheduling an air conditioning service check-up before the summer arrives in order to minimize the suffering and costs incurred later on.

Having a basic evaluation completed by a certified air conditioner repair technician is normally free. The air conditioning service repair technician inspects the minimal amount of features in order to determine if a “charge and go” of your auto AC is all you need or more extensive repairs are required.

These minimal inspections normally include the following:

  • Perform a visual inspection of the A/C system components
  • Check the system pressure readings
  • Perform an outlet temperature analysis designed to determine the cooling performance
  • Make recommendations of correct diagnostic service to troubleshoot areas of concern

Depending on the results of the analysis, your technician will either let you be on your way or recommend more diagnostic tests be taken, especially if leaks are found. These services will range in price depending on what is needed. A typical example of a more thorough air conditioning service is given below:

  • Performance evaluation
  • Environmentally safe evacuation and recovery of old refrigerant and recharge to proper specifications+
  • Inspection and adjustment of drive belt tension
  • Cleaning of dirt and debris from condenser fins
  • Outlet temperature analysis to determine cooling performance
  • Check of proper operation of controls, blower motor and engine cooling fan
  • Introduction of ultraviolet dye and 5 oz. of refrigerant injected into your AC system to perform a black light inspection and ensure it is leak free
  • Refrigerant injection provides enough pressure to course through the air conditioner system and expose leak points
  • If the system is empty, test may require up to 5 oz. of refrigerant

Lastly, if at any time throughout the year you experience water inside your vehicle, strange noises, unpleasant odors, refrigerant leak(s), then it is recommended that you make an air conditioning repair appointment to service your AC system as soon as possible.
