While most people know it’s necessary to service or recharge your car’s air conditioning when it’s hot, fewer realize that it’s just as essential during colder months. At Schwabe's Automotive Centre in Edmonton, we provide expert A/C maintenance and repairs to keep your vehicle’s air conditioning system in top condition year-round.
Why Should You Regularly Check Your Car’s Air Conditioning?
Your vehicle’s A/C system does more than just cool the interior; it also helps regulate the car’s temperature in cold weather. Ignoring A/C maintenance can lead to costly repairs, but our skilled automotive specialists at Schwabe's Automotive Centre in Edmonton can assist with all your air conditioning needs, ensuring your system is running efficiently for your comfort and safety. We use state-of-the-art tools to keep your car’s A/C in optimal condition.
What Should You Do If Your Car’s A/C Fails?
When temperatures rise, one of the most common issues drivers face is a malfunctioning air conditioner. Sometimes, a simple A/C recharge is all that’s needed to restore cool air. However, if the refrigerant level drops too low, the system may require a recharge along with a UV dye injection to detect future leaks.
If there’s a minor leak, it can be difficult to identify without UV dye since the refrigerant gas is nearly invisible. In some cases, issues with your air conditioning system might not stem from leaks or low refrigerant. Other potential causes include a compressor clutch that isn’t engaging, a loose compressor belt, or a dirty condenser.
Signs That You May Need Auto A/C Service
Consider bringing your vehicle to Schwabe's Automotive Centre in Edmonton if you experience any of the following issues with your car’s air conditioning:
- The air is cool but airflow is weak or uneven.
- Only some vents are blowing cold air.
- Clogged cabin air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow.
- Blower motor issues: If the blower motor has stopped working, it may need repair.
- Mix door malfunction: This could also lead to restricted airflow.
To restore your vehicle’s air conditioning to a comfortable, cool state, contact Schwabe's Automotive Centre in Edmonton for prompt A/C repairs.
What is an A/C Recharge?
An A/C recharge is the process of adding more refrigerant to your car’s air conditioning system. Recharging the air conditioner with Freon or a similar refrigerant is a common maintenance task, particularly for older cars. Most newer vehicles use a more modern refrigerant that requires less frequent refilling.
If a newer vehicle requires frequent recharges, there may be a leak that needs attention. Generally, most vehicles only need an A/C recharge every seven years, though older cars may need it more often.
No matter the issue, Schwabe's Automotive Centre in Edmonton is here to diagnose and fix it, so you can get back on the road comfortably.
