Air Conditioning Check

How can I know if my Vehicle needs an Air Conditioning Check?

The telltale warning sign of an air conditioning system problem is the air blowing out of the vents is not as cold as before. Usually, an air conditioning unit will experience declining performance over time until it doesn’t condition the air at all and only blows out air at the same temperature as ambient air. However, it is possible to experience a catastrophic air conditioning failure if a vital component such as the compressor fails. No matter what the root cause of your declining air conditioning performance, here are the most common symptoms signaling a need for an Air Conditioning Check:

• Abnormally loud noises when the A/C is engaged
• Warm air blowing out of the vents
• Restricted airflow from the vents
• Pungent, musty, or foul smells from the vents

What happens during Air Conditioning Check Service?

At Chesrown Chevrolet Buick GMC, the Air Conditioning Check begins with one of our GM-Certified Technicians, a Certified Service protocol, a digital air temperature testing tool, and a deep understanding of your vehicle’s air conditioning system. The first step in Air Conditioning Check Service is testing the air coming out of the vents against factory performance charts for your air conditioner. If the air is not cool enough according to factory specifications, the GM-Certified Technician will pressure test the system and add refrigerant as needed to restore peak cold air production. Once the refrigerant is at factory specifications, the GM-Certified Technician will inspect and clean every component within the air conditioning system including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and thermal expansion valve. If a defect or excessive wear is found, the faulty component can get repaired or replaced as necessary to restore peak cold air production to your Air Conditioning System.
