Most people don\u2019t service their air conditioning until after it fails. \nMaintaining your air conditioning system means that you always have enough\nrefrigerant to properly do the job. Small leaks in the air conditioning\nsystem allow the refrigerant to escape and the system can\u2019t cool the air as\nwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the refrigerant, a special oil circulates in the system. \nThe oil lubricates air conditioning components and keeps the seals resilient. \nLow refrigerant and lubricating oil mean that the air conditioning parts will\nwear out prematurely, and we all know that air conditioning repairs can be\ncostly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Air conditioning service starts with a visual inspection of the components\nfor signs of damage or leaks. The compressor is driven by a belt from the\nengine, most often the serpentine belt, so it\u2019s inspected for cracks or wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The air conditioning compressor and other components are checked for proper\noperation. Then comes the leak test. If a leak is detected, often\nin a hose or connection, it\u2019s repaired, and the system is retested. The\ntechnician will also perform a temperature drop test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If needed, the old refrigerant is evacuated, and the system is recharged\nwith clean, fresh refrigerant. A final test ensures that the air\nconditioner is working, and you\u2019re on your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How often this should be done varies from vehicle to vehicle. Your\nowner\u2019s manual will have the manufacturer\u2019s recommendation and, of course, your\nservice advisor can tell you. It\u2019s typically every two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
