When enough refrigerant leaks out, your air conditioner still makes cold air, but the parts don’t have enough oil to protect them and they wear out faster than they should so it’s important to service the air conditioner as recommended. Changing old refrigerants has other benefits: refrigerants tend to collect moisture and become corrosive. Which causes leakage in a system that can be expensive to repair. Fresh refrigerants protect air conditioning components and keep the system operate at peak efficiency so it doesn't have to work as hard as you keep it cool. Even with regular service, A/C parts can just wear out. Normal wear and tear eventually get to all moving parts. Addressing early problems can save on more extensive repairs down the road. For instance, a common failure is a clutch that turns the compressor on and off. If you can take care of a bad A/C clutch when it first starts having problems, you may be able to save the compressor. Wait too long and you’ll have to replace both. Check your owner’s manual or ask your service advisor for service recommendations. And if you’re hearing strange sounds when your air conditioning turns on, or if it just isn’t as cold as it used to be, have us give it the once over to see what it’ll take to keep you cool. Read more
