Why Is Your Car's AC Blowing Warm Air?
Many drivers assume a weak AC system just needs a simple recharge, but the issue is often more complex. Your car's AC is an intricate system of interconnected parts, and a failure in one component can disrupt the entire process. Our experts are trained to diagnose all common AC problems, including:
- Refrigerant leaks: The most common culprit, a slow leak in a hose, seal, or condenser, can cause a gradual loss of cooling power.
- Compressor failure: The compressor is the heart of the system, circulating the refrigerant. A failing compressor means the system can't perform its basic function.
- Clogged components: The condenser and evaporator can become clogged with debris or dirt, restricting airflow and reducing cooling efficiency.
- Electrical malfunctions: A bad fuse, a failing relay, or a faulty pressure switch can prevent the system from engaging.
- Failed seals or O-rings: Over time, these small rubber parts can dry out and crack, leading to refrigerant leaks.
