Air Conditioner Service Survive Winter?

Did your heating and air conditioner unit survive winter?  After the freezing temperatures of winter, most people are ready to see the temperatures on the rise. Your heating/air conditioner unit had to work overtime during those cold days to keep you warm. Now, it's your turn to take care of your vehicle. Give it a little "TLC" with a needed air conditioner service. You may simply need to add fresh coolant to the radiator. Prevent an urgent air conditioner repair before the hot days of summer get here.

Because air conditioning repair is often very expensive, it is a huge concern for drivers. Since the advent of the A/C system in the 1940's, today's system has become more complex with computerized parts and the days of "do-it-yourself" air conditioner service is a thing of the past. Studies have proven the damaging effect of refrigerant to the ozone layer, and its production and use has been limited by law leading to strict environmental regulations governing air conditioning service. As a result, auto shops must use specialized equipment to ensure that harmful chemicals are contained during an air conditioner repair, and auto mechanics are required to be certified.

Basic knowledge of the A/C system is important. Here is a brief description of each component:

  • Compressor – Responsible for compressing and transferring refrigerant gas by a belt-driven pump fastened to the engine.
  • Condenser – Designed to radiate heat and is usually located in front of the radiator. Hot compressed gases flow through the condenser, where it cools, condenses, and exits out the bottom as a high pressure liquid.
  • Evaporator – The heat absorption component which removes the heat and humidity from the inside of your vehicle.
  • Pressure Regulator – Designed to sense the temperature and pressure, and regulate the refrigerant flow to the evaporator.
  • Metering Device – The primary function is to keep the gas and liquid separate, as well as remove moisture and debris.
We recommend scheduling an air conditioner service so that you can begin the warmer season worry-free when it comes to your car.
