What to Know
Your car’s air conditioning system uses high and low-pressure sides to change the refrigerant’s physical properties. This allows it to absorb, move, and dissipate heat, then cycle again to repeat the process with the same refrigerant in the closed system. The A/C usually works well for a long time, but eventually, you’ll likely need a repair. The most common is a refrigerant recharge. If you notice that your air conditioner works but the air coming through the vents isn’t cool enough, the refrigerant level is probably too low. If the unit powers on but the air entering the passenger cabin is still hot, the compressor may have failed. A unit that won’t power on at all typically has an electrical issue, such as a broken wire. Watch for wet carpets or puddling water under the dash. This is usually a sign that a clog removes the moisture from the air before it blows through your vents to back up and overflow. Left unaddressed, this issue can lead to a damaged floor pan, damaged carpet or other flooring, and mildew that smells bad and is unhealthy to breathe. Also, beware of a musty odor each time you turn on the A/C, which indicates that you may have mold in the ducts. Let us immediately clean the system so you don’t breathe toxic air.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
This could be due to low refrigerant levels, a faulty compressor, or other internal issues in the system that can be mechanical or electrical in nature. We’ll run a full A/C performance check to find the exact cause.
Pro Tip – Check your temperature dial on your HVAC controls or your blend door. Sometimes it is set to HOT instead of COLD.
If you have the air turned on but nothing is coming out of the vents, you may have an electrical issue. A common problem is a faulty final stage unit or otherwise known as a blower resistor or blower regulator. This is a sensor that most vehicles have that regulates voltage going to the blower motor. Even though that is a common culprit, there could be other reasons why your air is not blowing properly or at all.
Yes. Unusual sounds like rattling or squealing can indicate compressor problems, bearing noise from the blower motor or debris in the system. It’s best to get it checked early.
Musty or chemical smells could point to mold in the system or refrigerant leaks. We’ll inspect for any signs of contamination or malfunction.
If you are smelling burning oil coming from your vents it can indicate oil leaks within your engine bay. A common area that can leak onto a hot exhaust manifold is a leaking valve cover gasket. Depending on the engine configuration of your vehicle, there may be other leaking points. Performing a proper inspection of the issue is recommended.
No, A/C systems should hold refrigerant for years. If you need annual recharges, it likely means there’s a slow leak that needs to be repaired.
Absolutely. The wrong refrigerant can damage components, reduce efficiency and cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. We’ll verify and correct any mismatch if needed.
It’s possible. We’ll review any previous repairs and check the system to ensure everything was done correctly and nothing was overlooked.
