AC Repair & Recharge – San Jose, CA
For warm weather, many people find an aircon to be crucial while traveling, if you have an A/C problem, it may be highlighted by one of the following symptoms:
- Hot air blowing out of the A/C
- Failure to blow air at all or Poor air flow
- No cool air coming through vents
- Excess Moisture around the compressor
- A Strange odor coming into the passenger cabin
Weak Airflow
- There is a chance mold and mildew can accumulate inside the evaporator, from moisture that happens when the system is cooling. If this build up happens, air has trouble reaching the air vents.
- A hose may have worked its way loose. This normally happens on blower hoses which supply air in to the blower.
- The ventilation is not working, this can be from a number of simple reasons.
- If there are any leaks from a seal, the whole A/C unit can be compromised and not able to function properly.
My Air Isn’t Blowing Cold!
A lack of cold air may be caused by any of the following:
- Freon leaks caused by a faulty O-rings, hoses or seal component
- Expansion tubes which are blocked or refrigerant hoses which are also blocked
- A Faulty compressor or faulty clutch
- A Faulty blower motor or resistor
- Damaged or faulty condensers and failing evaporators
- Vacuum leaks
- Broken switches, fuses, relays or control modules
What causes an air conditioner leak?
The most common causes are the age of the unit and moisture, the rubber seals and pipes can lose their flexibility over time and the material becomes brittle and breaks down, this allows pressurized Freon to find a way to escape so they system loses pressure, moisture can also get inside the system and when it mixes with Freon it causes a corrosive acid which can destroy the inside of your air conditioning system
