How a Air Conditioning Inspection works with My Auto Shop:
A qualified mechanic or auto electrician will go check over your entire air conditioning system to understand whats causing the issue, including the electrical side of the system. They will then check the AC gas level and ensure there are no leaks from any of the hoses or compressor.
If required the mechanic will provide a quote for necessary repairs or replacement parts.
When your fan speed control is not working its often as a result of a:
- Blower resistor malfunction
- HVAC control panel is bad
- Blower motor is bad
Popular services linked to a Air Conditioning Inspection:
Heater Hose Replacement
Your heater hoses are your best friend on a cold morning. These circulate hot coolant from the engine and use it to warm you up. As these hoses are constantly having water flow through them and at great temperatures, they do eventually wear down and need replacing.
AC High-Pressure Hose Replacement
The reason why your air conditioning blows cold is due to the system holding refrigeration gas/liquid and using it to cool the air coming through the system. The high pressure hose is what contains the refrigerant liquid which then is converted into a gas. If this hose fails, you’ll lose your refrigeration and your air conditionings cooling ability.
Fan Speed Resistor Replacement
The ability to turn up or down the fan speed for your car’s air con is the key function of the fan speed resistor. It simply restricts the amount of power the blower fan receives, which in turn limits the speed the fan works at. Typically fan speed resistors fail as a result of overheating, which can cause a short in the system melting the resistor or any of its connections.
AC Condenser Replacement
The Air Con Condenser is just like a small radiator, similar to the one in the engine bay of your vehicle. It cools refrigerant gas that has come from the air con compressor and converts it into a liquid. It does this much like how steam cools to make water, it’s the resulting refrigerant liquid that is used to produce cool air for your enjoyment on hot days.
