Your Car’s Air Conditioner Should Be Checked Before Summer Hits

Bring your car, truck, or utility vehicle to Righteous Auto Care today for an air conditioner check before the hot summer months hit. We will inspect your vehicle’s AC thoroughly to make sure nothing needs to be done to it before you use it all summer long. We are going to list some of the parts that we service in our air conditioner check below. Without these functional parts, you would not have cold air.

The compressor compresses the air conditioning system refrigerant to turn it from gas to liquid. It is then responsible for circulating the refrigerant through the system so it can cool off the air flowing through the vents. The compressor tends to break down after winter because it hasn’t been used for a long time. We will test the compressor to make sure it is working properly.

The condenser keeps the refrigerant cold by using outside air and a fan. To facilitate the use of the outside air, the condenser is located behind your automobile’s grille. Unfortunately, the condenser can get damaged by road debris because of its location. We will inspect the condenser to make sure it isn’t damaged and that its air inlets are not clogged by road grime.

As we just mentioned, the condenser uses a fan to help keep the refrigerant cool. We will test the condenser fan to make sure it turns on every time you turn on the AC. We will also inspect the fan to make certain that it has not been damaged by anything flying into the engine through the grille. If the condenser fan is damaged, we will replace it.

Another thing that needs a thorough inspection is your vehicle’s electrical system because the air conditioner relies on it to power it. We will inspect the electrical system to make sure you don’t have any problems such as bad relays or frayed wires. We will also make certain that all of your air conditioning system fuses are working.

Finally, we will check the level of refrigerant in the air conditioning system to make sure there is plenty to keep your car cool all summer long. If necessary, we will add refrigerant to the system to get it at the correct level.
