Common Automotive AC Repair Services
Recharging Your Car’s AC
If your AC system is losing cooling efficiency, a freon recharge might be all it needs. This quick and cost-effective service restores cool air, offering relief during hot weather. However, if your vehicle has a freon leak, such as from a damaged hose or seal, further repairs may be needed.
AC Compressor Repair
The AC compressor plays a central role in cooling your vehicle. It pressurizes the refrigerant to cool the air, regulates temperature output, detects changes, and directs air to the condenser. A faulty compressor can result in warm air, reduced cooling efficiency, and potential system failure.
AC Condenser Repair
The condenser, located near the radiator, cools the refrigerant after compression. It plays a vital role in maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature. If your condenser is damaged, it could lead to warm air circulating inside the car.
AC Evaporator Repair
The evaporator, located behind the dashboard, cools and dehumidifies the air before it enters your cabin. If it fails, your car’s AC won’t effectively cool the air, leaving you uncomfortable on hot days.
Thermal Expansion Valve or Orifice Tube Replacement
These components regulate the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, balancing pressure and temperature. Proper functioning prevents moisture build-up and maintains your AC system’s efficiency.
Freon Recharging FAQs
Freon doesn’t need to be replaced unless there’s a leak in the system. Over time, small cracks can develop in parts like the compressor, condenser, or hoses, allowing refrigerant to escape. If this happens, we’ll replace the damaged component and recharge the system.
Once your AC system is repaired and recharged, it should last for a long term. If the Freon is depleted quickly after a recharge, a leak might still be present, requiring further inspection.
Most cars need 28-32 ounces (2-3 12oz cans) of Freon. However, larger vehicles and rear AC systems may require more. Always check your vehicle’s manual to avoid overfilling.
Yes! It’s essential to have the engine running while recharging your AC, as the compressor needs power from the engine to circulate the refrigerant properly.
A refrigerant leak could cause a loss of pressure in the AC system, resulting in hot air. This is a common cause for ineffective Freon recharges. We recommend checking for leaks and resolving them before proceeding with a recharge.
