How Do I Keep My A/C Working Like New?
Ensure Your A/C Always Blows Cold
Welcome to the Service Center at Spitzer Cleveland Hyundai?
When temperatures rise and you reach for the temperature controls, your car’s A/C system goes to work, keeping you cool, removing the humidity from the cabin and keeping a constant flow of cool air flowing at the temperature of your liking.
At Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland, we provide trustworthy A/C service to all makes and models to ensure that the cabin of your vehicle is always a comfortable place to be. Not only do we employ highly trained and ASE Certified technicians, but our technicians use genuine Hyundai replacement parts to ensure that your vehicle maintains its performance and dependability.
Let’s talk about the importance of keeping your vehicle’s A/C system serviced and how regular car A/C service can even prevent problems.
Why Do I Need Air Conditioning Service?
Your air conditioning system is composed of several different components: a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, an orifice tube (also known as an expansion valve), and an accumulator. While this all may sound like a foreign language, these components each serve their purpose to deliver cool air into your cabin.
Staying on top of your car’s AC service not only ensures that all of your A/C components are working properly, but it can also spot concerns before costly repairs are needed.
For example, if your car’s air conditioner starts blowing warm or hot air, this could be a sign of a leak somewhere in your system. While warm air blowing through your car’s air conditioning system sounds like nothing more than an inconvenience, it can be quite problematic if left unchecked. Freon is not only the gas that causes your vehicle’s air conditioning to blow out cold air, but it’s also a lubricant for your car’s air condenser. Running your system without freon can damage your condenser and lead to expensive and avoidable repairs.
How Often Do I Service My A/C System?
While your owner’s manual will detail how often you should receive an air conditioning service, we recommend getting your A/C system inspected at least once per year.
Here in Cleveland, we enjoy a full four seasons throughout the year, meaning that it can be months without you ever needing to turn on your air conditioning. Being that the smallest bit of moisture can begin to corrode your A/C system, proper service ensures that when you reach for the temperature controls, that there are no surprises.
What Are Some Symptoms of Air Conditioning Problems?
Here are some common symptoms that you may experience when your air conditioning system needs service:
A/C Blowing Hot Air – If there’s hot air coming through your vents, it could be a sign that your air conditioning system needs service. Your freon is circulated through a sealed system, however, if moisture accumulates in your system, it can combine with the refrigerant to create a highly corrosive substance that eats away at your A/C system. Hot air is a sign that your A/C system may have a leak somewhere, and the hot air you’re feeling could be hot air from the engine bay making its way into your system.
Odd Smell – If your A/C system is giving off an odd smell, like mold or mildew, it could be something as simple as a wet cabin air filter, or it could be something a bit less ambiguous, like a blocked drain.
Low Air Flow – If you’re turning up the fan speed on your A/C system and you can barely feel any airflow, it may be a sign that your vents are being blocked, or perhaps the fan motor may need to be replaced.
