Reasons Your Auto A/C Fails
One of the common reasons for an A/C system to fail is a refrigerant leak. When this happens, it can cause your car’s A/C to blow hot or no air. The refrigerant in your car’s A/C system is essential to keep your vehicle cool. With a refrigerant leak, the cooling effect is compromised, and it can also damage other parts of your car’s A/C system. Our ASE-certified technicians at Scruggs Automotive Repair have the proper tools, knowledge, and experience to detect and fix refrigerant leaks. Another issue is compressor failure. The compressor is one of the most critical parts of your car’s A/C system. It’s a pump that circulates refrigerant throughout the system. When the compressor fails, your car’s A/C won’t work. Signs of a failed compressor can be a grinding or squeaking noise, a burning smell, and warm air coming from the vents. If your A/C stops altogether, it may be because your A/C system has electronic components that are prone to failure because of electrical problems. Electrical issues can cause your A/C to stop working completely or blow inconsistent cold air. Common electrical issues include blown fuses, a faulty relay, or a broken switch.
Your car’s A/C system needs regular maintenance like other parts of your vehicle. Neglecting your A/C system can lead to expensive repairs, decreased fuel efficiency, and poor air quality in the cabin. In general, you should have your car’s A/C system serviced once a year or every two years. Scruggs Automotive Repair provides A/C maintenance services that include checking the refrigerant levels, inspecting hoses and belts, cleaning the condenser, and ensuring proper airflow.
