A car's air conditioning works like any standard air conditioner, but on a much smaller scale. It's important to note that a vehicle's a/c doesn't produce cold air, it removes heat from the air entering its system. The refrigerant in your vehicle alternates between a gaseous and liquid state. When refrigerant in its cool liquid form is exposed to warm air in your vehicle's condenser, it evaporates into a gas and absorbs or removes heat from the surrounding environment. The heated refrigerant then moves to a separate part of the system, where the gas is compressed into liquid by the compressor. Before the refrigerant can cycle back through the system, any water that may have been created in the process needs to be removed. This is achieved by a component known as a receiver or dryer. Once the water is removed, the refrigerant can start the cycle all over again. Whether you are in Hixon, BC or Isle Pierre, BC, you can bring your car to Rivers Edge Services today.
Whether you own a Acura, Alfa Romeo, AMG, or Aston Martin, there are universal indicators that there is a problem with your car's air conditioning and you will need to come in for an air conditioning evac/recharge service. Here are some signs to watch out for:
Most of the time, your air conditioning loses its cooling properties because there is a low level of refrigerant, your condenser is broken, or the compressor has a broken or damaged belt.
Noise usually comes from a dying compressor, but some other common causes can be a cross-contaminated refrigerant or the use of the wrong lubricant.
The common cause for moist air inside your car is usually moisture or debris trapped inside your air conditioning system.
If you haven't used your air conditioning in a while, bacteria and fungus can settle into the system, creating a foul smell.
Leaking refrigerant is dangerous and this issue should be addressed as soon as possible.
