If you need an air-con re-gassing in Merseyside, call our team today on 01744 808586
It's that time of year again; you haven't used your vehicle's air-con since last year and now it's not working. This could be down to a number of reasons. Generally, air-con doesn't work because gas over time has escaped. However, it could be down to a number of other reasons including mechanical issues as well as seized parts. Air-conditioning is a nice luxury that most people don’t give a second thought to until their unit stops working. Today, we explain some of the most common reasons why your vehicle’s air conditioning isn’t working.
Refrigerant leak – A leak in the air-conditioning system is one of the more common problems we see with broken AC units. To fix this, our team of technicians inspect the hoses and flush the system to identify the leak. Once the leak is found, we simply seal the crack and recharge the refrigerant. We can perform pressure and UV checks to find any leaks.
Broken cooling fans – Cooling fans, as their name implies, help to push the cool air into your vehicle's cabin. If one or more of the fans break, you’ll notice it pretty quickly. Replacing the fans is a relatively quick fix, so this repair shouldn't leave you waiting very long at all.
Compressor issues – There is a clutch on the compressor on the front of your air-conditioning unit that can cause problems if it gets stuck. Compressor issues can be very problematic, especially if the clutch gets locked in the “on” position. If this happens, your AC will run constantly, draining your fuel efficiency and locking you into a perpetual state of cool. If it gets stuck in the "off" position, one of our technicians will determine why the clutch isn’t engaging.
Major problems – The best way to prevent major issues is to fix minor problems when they arise. However, we understand that customers are not always aware of issues and their implications. If one of the above problems goes unaddressed for too long, it can cause other issues with your air conditioning unit. A leak can cause fan issues, which can lead to compressor problems. In this scenario, we may need to replace the whole AC system, which we warn our customers can take longer. As always, we pride ourselves on offering a competitively priced service.
