AC Refrigerant Leak Service

AC Refrigerant Leak Service at Stanley Ford Gilmer

When oil is leaking from your model, it shouldn’t take very long to spot it, as you’ll start to notice little black puddles everywhere you go. It’s a lot easier for leaking refrigerant to go under the radar, but there are a few distinct symptoms that you can look for. If your cabin has been feeling stuffy lately, then you can visit us at Stanley Ford Gilmer, where we’ll be able to inspect your A/C system.

What Does Your Vehicle’s A/C System Do?

If you’ve ever turned your car off on a hot day, then you know that it only takes a matter of minutes for your cabin to get incredibly hot. When it’s running, your A/C system will work hard to reduce the temperature inside. While this might seem like a luxury, it’s actually more important than that. When temperatures are in the triple digits, there’s a good chance that the inside of your cabin is even hotter when this system isn’t running. This can make it harder to drive, as you could be severely dehydrated by the time you reach your destination. You might also have trouble focusing when you’re behind the wheel, which can be dangerous, to say the least. If your cabin is starting to get unbearably hot, and you’re near Mount Pleasant, Gilmer, or Gladewater, then you can visit us at Stanley Ford Gilmer.

Is My A/C System Failing?

When your A/C is having issues, you might notice some of the signs below.

• Your A/C Is Blowing Hot Air: Refrigerant works by cooling down the air before it reaches you, but if it’s not there to do its job, then you might start to notice that your A/C is blowing hot air instead.
• Your Dashboard Gives You a Warning: Depending on your car, you might have a dedicated icon for your A/C system. This gives you an easy way to know when something is wrong, or at least when you need to have your system checked out.
• There’s a Clicking Noise: When your A/C is running, you might start to hear a clicking noise. This could mean that your compressor is trying to run, but it’s short cycling instead. There are a couple of things that could cause this, with low refrigerant being one of them.
