Does Your A/C Need Recharging?

Watch for the Signs

Is your car’s A/C system not providing the chill it used to? It may be time for a recharge of the refrigerant! In this blog, we’ll explain what refrigerant is and how often you should replace it.

Refrigerant is a type of fluid that helps cool air inside your car. It works by pulling heat out of the air when it passes through the A/C system in your vehicle. Without enough refrigerant, your air conditioner can’t perform optimally. So how do you know if your car needs a recharge of refrigerant? Here are some signs:

  • You notice an increase in temperature in the cabin despite the AC running on full blast
  • Your A/C system is blowing warm or hot air instead of cold air
  • You hear loud noises coming from under the hood during AC operation
  • Making sure your vehicle’s A/C system is properly maintained is key to driving in comfort during the hot summer months. Here are a few other tips to keep your car running cool:

  • Keep your air filter clean—it helps keep the air clean and cold
  • Have your AC system inspected for leaks every couple of years
  • Check your belt that drives the compressor regularly for wear and tear
  • Add new refrigerant according to manufacturer’s recommendation
  • If you’re experiencing any problems, it could mean you need more refrigerant in your system. That’s why it’s essential to have professionals check up on your vehicle at least once a year to make sure everything is working properly. It’s important to remember that maintaining a healthy A/C system doesn’t just help you stay cool—it can also save you money in the long run.
