Crucial Services We Include in Our Spring AC Check

It’s time to schedule an air conditioning check for your automobile. Bring your vehicle to Total Auto Care so we can inspect the air conditioning system to make sure you won’t have any problems using the AC in the summer. We are going to list some of the crucial services we include in our AC check below. You can rest assured we will make sure that you can count on your air conditioner to keep the inside of your vehicle cold all summer long.

Test the Compressor

The compressor can malfunction the first time you turn on the air conditioner if it hasn’t been used for a long time, and you haven’t run your car’s AC all winter long. As such, we will test the compressor to make sure it is functioning properly. You need this part to compress the refrigerant into a liquid and then circulate it through the air conditioning system.

Inspect the Condenser

We will also inspect the condenser to make sure it is not clogged and has not been damaged by road debris. The condenser is clogged by dirt and damaged by road debris because it is located directly behind the grille. We will make sure the condenser is ready to keep the refrigerant cool using its air inlets and condenser fan.

Check the Condenser Fan

Naturally, we will need to check the condenser fan, as well, to make sure it’s ready to keep the refrigerant cool, too. The condenser fan can also be damaged by road debris. It may also fail to work because it is broken down or there is no electrical problem.

Inspect the Electrical System

As such, we will inspect the electrical system to make sure everything from the fuses to the relays is working properly. This includes the electricity that turns on the condenser fan. We will also make sure that your air conditioner switch is working and that there aren’t any frayed or worn wires in the electrical system.

Check the Refrigerant

Finally, we will look at the refrigerant to make sure you have plenty of it in the air conditioning system. If you do not have enough refrigerant to guarantee cold air all summer long, we will add refrigerant. Refrigerant levels can be reduced by evaporation and through refrigerant leaks.Call Total Auto Care in North Branch, MN, today to schedule a spring air conditioner check for your automobile.
