Air Conditioner Tips from Tim and Mike
Tim and Mike recommend having your A/C system checked every year. Stop by South Downing or Broadway Estates and let our team inspect your drive belt tension, clean your condenser fins, check refrigerant levels, and assess your A/C’s overall performance.
If you’re experiencing any of the issues below, come see us—we’ll help you drive away as cool as Rex!
Common A/C Issues:
- Refrigerant Leak – A sweet smell coming through the vents while your A/C is running may be a sign of a refrigerant leak.
- Defective Cooling Fan – This issue is often obvious. You may see a rising temperature gauge or a check engine light, both of which could lead to serious engine damage.
- Mildew in Vents – A musty smell might mean mold has built up due to moisture that didn’t properly evaporate. Running your defrost mode periodically can help dry out the system.
- A/C Not Blowing Cold Air – This could indicate a more serious problem and should be checked by a professional right away.
Tips to Keep Your A/C Running Smoothly:
- Replace your cabin air filter regularly
- Open your windows for a few moments before turning on the A/C
- Park in the shade whenever possible
- Use a sunshade or solar fan to reduce cabin heat buildup
