Summer is finally here and the kids are out of school. Nothing is worse than listening to them whine that they are hot when your car’s air conditioner breaks down. JTR Repair is the best auto shop in Crawfordsville, and we can service the air conditioning system to make sure that you never have to hear whining coming from the backseat. The following is included in our AC service.
Compressor
Winters get pretty cold here in Crawfordsville, and, as such, you would never run your car’s air conditioner. This is of consequence to the compressor. The compressor likes to work hard, and it functions much better when it is used all the time. Consequently, it can malfunction the first time you turn on your air conditioner in the summer. As such, we will test the compressor to make sure it is working.
Condenser
The condenser can suffer from two separate problems. First, it can get damaged by road debris. Second, it can get clogged by dirt. We will inspect the condenser to make sure it is not damaged or clogged. If it is, we will replace it or clean it to make sure it is available to keep the refrigerant cold all summer long. Without a functional condenser, you will have hot air blowing through the vents into the cabin.
Condenser Fan
The condenser has a fan that helps keep the refrigerant cool. This fan can also be damaged by road debris. We will inspect the fan to make sure it has zero damage. We will also test it to make sure that it runs every time you turn on the air conditioner. If there is a problem with the fan, we will isolate it and repair it.
Electrical System
A problem with the condenser fan might mean a problem with the electrical system. Therefore, we will inspect the electrical system to make sure it is functioning properly. We will also make certain that it is safe. Included in our electrical system inspection is testing the fuses, inspecting the wiring, and checking the switches and relays.
Refrigerant
Finally, your car’s AC needs plenty of refrigerant in order to blow cold air through the vents. Unfortunately, the refrigerant can evaporate over time or leak out of the air conditioning system. We will test the system for leaks and ensure you have plenty of refrigerant.
