Air Conditioning Service

When the summer heat hits, do you really want to be stuck without air conditioning? Knowing whether or not you need AC service can be confusing, so make sure you look out for these warning signs. If you see them, schedule an AC service appointment with us at Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM.

Signs You Need AC Service

The obvious first sign that you need AC service is if you aren’t getting any cold air coming from your car. When this happens, there is typically a leak in your AC line. However, if you catch the leak early, you can pay to have it patched for cheap, but if you don’t catch it early, things can get more expensive.

A simple patch can be easy to do, but major repair work to your vehicle AC unit means that you may have to order car parts, and that can get expensive.

There are things that you can watch out for before you get to this level so you can have your AC fixed before things get disastrous. For example, pay attention to what sounds your car makes when you turn on your AC. If it’s loud and you hear knocking sounds, then you might have some issues, and you need to schedule AC service.

Another sign is if you notice something leaking under your car. Remember, if it is hot outside and you have the AC running, there will be some natural condensation that drips under your car. However, if you notice a ton of liquid building up under your car, or if any of that moisture is building up inside your car, then you need to schedule service immediately. Pay attention to the color and viscosity of the liquid under your car; you don’t want to confuse water for oil or transmission fluid.

AC Service Tips: Preserving Your Vehicle’s AC

There are a few things you can do yourself to keep your AC running well. First and foremost, you should run your AC at full blast at least once a week to make sure that the gas pressure inside is stable. Next, you should run the defroster once a week to make sure that there is no residue or mildew build-up. Every two years, you should schedule car service to make sure your system is running well and is also recharged.
