Today’s AC Systems Are Complex

Your car’s AC system is a complex network of components, including the compressor, receiver and dryer, orifice tube or expansion valve, and filters. When it malfunctions, the experience of an expert is needed. Let Lamb’s help you ride in comfort.

Here are two of the most common fixes for a faulty AC system:

Change the AC Filter 

This has an immediate and direct effect on your AC system. The filter sometimes gets clogged with debris, which makes the blower motor work harder and over heat. Eventually, the blower will fail completely.

Another result of this happening is that you turn the AC up higher to compensate. Then your fuel economy falls, too. Your filter is critical to making the entire AC system work properly. 

Your inside cabin also has a filter. It is often in a difficult place to reach easily. Let our AC technicians check and change the cabin filter. This aids the system in working at peak performance.

Recharge the AC Compressor 

Many times an AC recharge is all that is needed to get your system working efficiently. The compressor in the system provides the power to move the refrigerant through the system. It uses a drive belt to do this. Along the way, the refrigerant changes from gas to liquid and then back again to gas. 

If there isn’t enough refrigerant in the system to make all this happen, the process fails. The refrigerant can also become contaminated and stops doing its job. All that drivers need to know is that refrigerant has to be replaced periodically. Our AC specialists will assess this fluid level and carry out a car AC recharge if necessary.

Pflugerville Car AC Repair FAQs

If my car’s AC produces warm air, will the repair be expensive?

While some AC repairs can be more costly, there are a good number of repairs that will not bust your budget. Your AC producing warmer air is typically a sign that you are running low on refrigerant and may only need an AC recharge. Numerous minor AC repairs will be cost-effective and budget-friendly.

Our crew members can perform whatever repairs you need as they have years of experience with the complexities of vehicular AC systems.

What is that clicking noise?

A clicking or tapping noise from your AC is typically a sign that an object is loose in the system. This could be caused by anything from a loose screw to a pebble or twig from outside. If your vehicle has been stationary for a long time, a rattling noise could even be a critter that has made a nest in your AC system.

While there are several things that strange noises could indicate, you should have it checked by an expert mechanic to be safe. Lamb’s Tire & Automotive crew can quickly help you diagnose the issue and perform any necessary AC repair or service.

How do I know if my compressor is failing?

The compressor in your vehicle’s AC is a vital component that forces cool air through your car’s interior. Whenever the compressor begins to fail, it will show signs of wear and age that are definite indicators of a need for an AC repair from a professional mechanic. If your AC emits a wheezing or whining noise, this could be a sign that your compressor requires some attention. A further indicator is a lack of airflow or a weakened airstream from the AC system.

Replacing your air filter is an AC repair that is often overlooked or forgotten. However, your air filter should be checked and replaced whenever it becomes saturated with dirt and debris.
