Spring is the perfect time to let us here at Clark’s Car Care check your car, truck, or utility vehicle’s air conditioner to make certain it can handle its summer job. We conduct a thorough inspection of the air conditioning system and its electrical system. This allows us to replace parts that are on the verge of malfunctioning. We can keep the cold air flowing through the vents all summer long.
Compressor Check
We will check the compressor and tested to make sure that it is working properly. Because you have not run your air conditioner all winter long, the compressor can malfunction because it prefers to run. The winter hiatus can actually damage the compressor and prevent it from doing its job of compressing the refrigerant into a liquid that can be circulated.
Condenser Check
We will also check the condenser to make sure it has not been damaged by road debris because it is located directly behind the grille. The condenser can also get clogged by dirt. If either of these things has happened, we will replace the condenser to make sure it is capable of cooling off the refrigerant using the air inflow vents and condenser fan.
Condenser Fan Check
Speaking of the condenser fan, we will also inspect it for damage and test it to make sure it isn’t malfunctioning. The air conditioning system needs the fan in operating condition in order to keep the refrigerant cold so you have cold air blowing through the vents into the passenger cabin. If we need to replace your condenser fan, we will.
Electrical System Check
Another crucial part of your vehicle’s air conditioning system is the electrical system. We will test the system to make sure that everything is operating as it should be and providing power to the air conditioner. We will also make sure that the fuses have not blown and that all of the wires, relays, and switches are in good condition.
Refrigerant Check
Finally, we will check the refrigerant to make sure it does not need to be topped off. If the refrigerant level is too low, you will end up with lukewarm or hot air blowing through the vents. We will make sure that the air conditioning system in your automobile has plenty of refrigerant in it.
