Summer is here and you can’t wait to hit the road. However, many vehicle owners don’t think about checking their air conditioning in their car before the hot summer months are upon them.
You may find you go to crank the A/C and nothing but warm air comes out, perhaps air that’s not cold but just cool or your air conditioning is making a nasty smell. These can be symptoms of a larger problem at work and it’s best to let a professional mechanic take a look at your car’s air conditioning system.
AAMCO Utah can help you properly maintain and address any issues you find with your air conditioning so you can enjoy the roads in comfort this summer.
Maybe you noticed that your car air conditioning isn’t blowing as cold as it used to. This can be a sign that the refrigerant is leaking and or needs a recharge.
It could be possible that you need to reseal a ring, hose or another component. There could be a cold tube , failing compressor, failed motor, switched ,relay or control module.
A freon leak can also be disastrous for the environment and take a toll on your car. Don’t wait until something that can be a minor repair becomes a major and costly repair. Schedule an AAMCO Utah appointment to properly diagnose and fix any air conditioning problems your car is experiencing.
It’s sweltering outside and you plop yourself in the stuffy interior of your car. You immediately crank the air conditioning only to find that it is blowing hot air! There’s nothing worse than the realization that your air conditioning is gone for the day. There are several possible causes to your car air conditioner blowing hot air in your car.
Your car could have a blocked or broken air conditioning condenser, the cooling fans could be dead, your refrigerant could be leaking rapidly or perhaps something is even wrong with an electrical component. The condenser cools the refrigerant as it goes through your compressor and pulls in the outside air.
The result is the car transforms the hot air in the engine to a cool air conditioned air flow inside your vehicle. If there’s a problem with one of these components, you’ll find your air conditioning is just blowing hot air at you.
It can be hard to properly diagnose the problem without the help of a professional team. The AAMCO Utah mechanics can help you diagnose and fix your air conditioning problems. Don’t sweat your car a/c problems, schedule an appointment with us today.
When you turn on your car air conditioning, you may find that there is a horrible smell emitting from your vents. This is a potential sign that your cabin air filter is old and dirty. Your cabin air filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles or so. If you choose to change it more frequently, it definitely will improve the air quality in your passenger cabin. Your cabin air filter clears the air in your cabin and clears it of pollutants like smog, dust, pollen and fumes.
If you enjoy keeping your car air conditioner on maximum cooling capacity, you can have condensation drip down into the air filter and contribute to mold and spores growth. If you find your air conditioning smells like a dirty sock or gym locker room, this is most likely the culprit.
Schedule an appointment with AAMCO Utah to quickly address your stinky air conditioning issues and we will work on getting your air conditioning into working condition.
If you find that no air is escaping from the vents, there’s a number of factors that could be playing into this. It is possible that a hose came loose such as the blower hose. The blower hose supplies the air to the blower unit resulting in your fans having air blown through. Your fan unit could be malfunctioning or could be fried, which would need repair or replacing to become functional.
If a seal has opened up, this can lead to loss of air pressure since it is escaping through broken seals. It can also be possible that moisture accumulated in the evaporator core while the air conditioning was running.
