Air Conditioning Repair: Don’t lose your cool!
Are you losing your cool and feel like a wilted lettuce salad when you arrive at your destination? It’s time to schedule an air conditioner service. Your AC system is working overtime during these long hot days of summer. You will want to make sure that your cooling system is operating at its peak performance before you start out on your summer road trip. Even if you’re just going about your daily activities, keep your cool with an air conditioner service.
Your mechanic should check following during a diagnostic air conditioning repair:
- Visual inspection of all A/C components
- Full system performance test
- State of charge and system control tests
- Leak test, using an approved-leak detector
- Dye detection test (if a slow leak is difficult to detect)
The AC system relies on several key components: compressor, condenser, an evaporator, pressurized refrigerant, values and hoses that are all controlled electronically. If any of these componants start to fail, there are several signs that will alert you that your A/C system needs an air conditioning repair:
- Hot air comes from the vents even when the dial says “cold”
- The A/C seems to be running constantly, but doesn’t feel cold
- The air is colder that the dial setting indicates, freezing you out
- The A/C is making strange noises
Finish out your summer in style with a quality air conditioner service. For an inspection of your A/C system, contact our ASE Certified Technicians at our Elk River auto center by calling (763) 441-2889 or go on-line to www.elkrivertireandauto.com for more information.
