AC Repair | The Secret to Extending Your AC’s Life

Why Do Some ACs Last 20 Years While Others Die at 7?

Here’s the cold truth: Your air conditioner’s lifespan isn’t just about the brand or the model. It’s about what you do—or don’t do—to take care of it.

Most AC repair calls are the result of preventable mistakes. And guess what? Those mistakes don’t just cost you money—they shave years off your AC’s life.

This guide will break down exactly how to keep your air conditioner running like new, avoid expensive AC repair, and extend its lifespan.

Step 1: Prioritize Regular Tune-Ups

You wouldn’t drive your car 100,000 miles without a service, right? The same logic applies to your air conditioner.

Regular aircon tune-ups are the #1 way to avoid breakdowns and extend the life of your system.

What’s Included in an Air Conditioning Tune-Up?

Cleaning and inspecting the condenser coils.

Checking refrigerant levels (important if you’ve ever wondered, “Does AC use Freon?”).

Inspecting electrical connections and tightening loose wires.

Pro Tip: Schedule your air conditioning maintenance twice a year—once before the cooling season and once after.

Step 2: Change Your Filters Like Clockwork

Here’s a free hack that most people ignore.

Dirty filters force your system to work harder, overheat, and eventually wear out. Changing your filter every 1-3 months (depending on usage) keeps airflow strong and reduces strain on your AC.

Signs It’s Time for a New Filter

You notice dust building up faster than usual.

Your AC struggles to cool the house.

The filter looks visibly dirty (if you’re squinting to see through it, it’s time).

Step 3: Don’t Ignore Small Problems

Let me give it to you straight: When it comes to air conditioning repair, procrastination equals a bigger bill.

That faint rattling noise? Could be a faulty compressor. The warm air blowing from your vents? Might mean low refrigerant or clogged ducts.

Why Small Issues Matter

They reduce efficiency, hiking up your energy bills.

They cause more wear and tear on critical components.

They often lead to complete system failure if ignored.

Call a licensed HVAC contractor near you at the first sign of trouble.

Step 4: Get Ductwork Inspected and Cleaned

Dirty or leaky ducts are a hidden AC killer.

If your ducts are clogged with debris, your AC has to work overtime to push air through. And if there’s a leak? You’re cooling your attic instead of your living room.

How to Solve Duct Problems

Hire a pro for duct cleaning and duct sealing from the inside.

Get a duct inspection near you to check for leaks.

Step 5: Avoid DIY Repairs

You’re probably handy around the house, but when it comes to AC repair, it’s best to leave it to the pros.

Here’s why:

You might misdiagnose the issue. Is it the capacitor or the compressor? Guess wrong, and you’ll waste time and money.

Refrigerants are tricky. If your system uses Freon and you handle it incorrectly, you could damage the unit—or worse, harm yourself.

Replacing parts isn’t simple. Installing a furnace capacitor or fixing a faulty AC compressor requires specialized tools and expertise.

Step 6: Invest in Quality Installation

Poor installation can doom even the best air conditioners.

If your AC wasn’t installed correctly, it might face:

Uneven cooling.

Short cycling (turning on and off too often).

Premature wear and tear.

When it’s time for AC installation, hire a reputable HVAC contractor near you.

FAQs About Extending Your AC’s Life

Q: Does AC need Freon to function? A: Older units do, but newer systems use eco-friendlier refrigerants. If you’re unsure, check your system specs or ask an HVAC technician.

Q: How often should I schedule maintenance? A: Twice a year—once in spring and once in autumn.

Q: Can small repairs really extend the life of my AC? A: Absolutely. Fixing issues early prevents further damage and keeps your system running smoothly.

Q: What’s the average lifespan of an AC? A: Most systems last 10-15 years with proper care, but regular tune-ups can extend that to 20+ years.

Save Money and Avoid AC Headaches

By following these steps, you’ll:

Reduce the need for frequent air conditioning repair.

Save on energy bills.

Avoid sweating through summer when your system unexpectedly breaks down.

Find the Best Neighborhood Workshop

This is one concern for all car owners. They must find the most suitable workshop in all senses. It is very difficult to find one that matches all your requirements. If you have moved to a new place and are looking for a good workshop you can consider a few things before you finalize the workshop for your car. These things can help you find the ideal place.

They Must Be Well Equipped

“What do I look for when searching for a car workshop near me”? This is a question often asked by car owners. The first thing you must check is their equipment and the people. See if they have all the right equipment for the job. The next thing is to check whether their mechanics are trained in repairing your car. You can see if any they have received any training from your car manufacturer. That will be very good because then they will know everything about your brand of the car.

Do They Offer On-Site Repair?

This is another important thing to check up with your car workshop. There are many times when your car may not move and you may need someone to come and do the work at your home or wherever it has failed. They should also offer the service 24 hours because you don’t know when your car will fail you. Moreover, the company should offer to tow your vehicles to the workshop if the work cannot be done on-site. This will save you a lot of trouble. Find out if they will also pick up and drop your car for regular services.

Can They Do Everything That You Need?

There are many things in a car that need to be serviced or repaired. Can the workshop do all the work? Do they have specialists for all the jobs? This is very important because it is inconvenient to take the car to different people for different jobs. Whether you need the battery to be charged or the seats to be repaired, it must all be done at the same workshop. Another advantage of getting all the work done by the same people is that you don't have to do all the research every time.

Lastly, but also very important is to compare the rates. Find out the rates for various standard jobs and see how the workshop is charging. It need not be the least but it should favorably compare with other workshops.

A Series of Moments

Read it here or on AO3

Hotch/Reid, fluff, 2,739 words, one chapter only/completed.

This is a thing where Reid is quietly being close to Hotch on purpose and also happenstance, and he doesn't realise it's exactly what Hotch wants, too. Reid's version of hiding feelings is being scattered and obvious, whereas Hotch's is Glaring.

“‘Morning, Hotch. I didn’t think I’d see you in here this early.”

“I’m always early, but this is odd for you.” It wasn’t a question, but Reid knew he wanted an answer anyway.

“I couldn’t sleep, and I wanted to at least be productive. Do you know if we’re getting a case today?” 

“Not until JJ’s in.” Reid felt a little ridiculous for asking, and he fiddled with the rolled cuff of his shirt, the warmth outside having made him roll it up on his way to work. He looked up at Hotch then, noticing the man’s gaze of his rolled sleeves. 

“It’s warm outside, huh? I was reading this morning that-”

“You look good, Reid.” It wasn’t how his rants were usually derailed, so it had a more lasting effect than normal. Reid looked back down at his sleeves before lifting his head to see Hotch’s retreating back. Rather suddenly, it seemed warmer inside than out.

 “Reid, are you making a habit of being here both earlier and later than everyone but myself?”

 -

“I uh, I haven’t been getting to sleep well, of late. So I thought I may as well get a head start on some paperwork while I can.”

“You’re not going to do that at home?”

“It’s easier to focus here. Is it like that for you, too?” He was twirling a pen in his fingers, and he’d been doing more of it than actual writing, not that he was going to tell his superior that.

Just like how Hotch wasn’t going to tell him that going home to an empty house was getting harder and harder, so he stared at Reid before walking off to the kitchen, instead. Reid was left at his desk wondering why such a question had earned him Hotch’s glare.

 “If you’re not going home in time to cook, you should at least eat.” Hotch dropped Indian takeout at Reid’s desk on his way past. Reid didn’t have time to say anything more than a ‘thank you, Hotch’ before the older man was sequestered in his office again. He’d left before Hotch that night, like always, even though he’d stayed later than intended.

 Not being in their own office could be annoying enough, but being in an office where it seemed twice as hot as normal made things worse. Not only that, but it was a hard case, and Reid wished he knew how to fix the temperamental aircon. He’d slung his cardigan and bag over the chair, rolled up his sleeves, and unbuttoned the top of his shirt, cursing the fact that the others were out working different parts of the case where they could catch a breeze, and he was trapped in an office alone working the geographical profile.

 -

He came back from the kitchen with a bottle of water from the fridge, gulping down a third of it when he sat down again. He almost spat it back up, too, when Hotch’s figure appeared soundlessly in the doorway.

“Sir! I-I didn’t see you there. Any updates from the others?” He thumbed away some water from his lips as Hotch’s glare stayed pinned on him. 

“No.”

He screwed the cap back on the bottle, then held it against his neck and let out a sigh at the cool relief. He didn’t notice that he’d closed his eyes, but opening them again showed Hotch was still glaring, and Reid realised he hadn’t said anything else yet.

“Uh, the profile is still coming along, but I’ve made a lot of progress. Would you like to come see?”

“No, I trust you’re doing well. Thank you for the update.” Puzzled, Reid leaned to the side to see if his boss spoke to anyone else after leaving the room. It was only after he was out of Reid’s eyesight that Hotch took a deep breath, loosening his tie.

Hiding in a glorified broom closet while waiting to see if, not when, a serial killer came back to his apartment wasn’t Reid’s idea of a great time. Especially since it was still apparently 100 degrees and he was trapped in it with Hotch. His superior had been sporting an incredible frown, and his frame was rigid in the partial light.

Reid was trying not to focus on thetop, undone buttons on Hotch's shirt shirt beneath the FBI vest, and was trying harder still not to stare at the sweat making its way down Hotch’s neck to catch at his collarbone. Reid swallowed, wishing that the closet were completely dark despite how uncomfortable that would have made him feel.

He was thrown back to a time in school where he and a female classmate had been chosen for the dreaded ‘seven minutes in heaven’ at the one birthday party he had attended. He and the girl had sat quietly in the closet the whole time, neither saying a word. At least with her, he hadn’t been having vivid dreams of what they could be doing if left alone.

He really wished it was completely dark in there, even though he knew it’d make him maybe a little fearful. Better that than turned on.

“Reid,” Hotch’s voice was quiet, tense. “I can hear you thinking. Either Benson’s going to walk in and we’ll listen to see if he gives anything away about where he’s keeping the girls before making an arrest, or Rossi will radio to say they’ve got him. Stay alert, definitely, but relax a little if you can. You’re making it hard to focus.” Right back at you.

Hotch was looking out of the gaps in the door, and Reid’s gaze trailed from Hotch’s unbuttoned collar and down his arm, eyes tracing the veins in the other man’s forearm. He went back up Hotch’s arm to the dip at the base of his neck, between his collarbones. When his stare travelled further up to Hotch’s face, he nearly yelped when he noticed Hotch looking at him. 

He swallowed again and stared down at the gun in his hands, making a show of checking it over instead of looking at Hotch.

“... Reid?”

Whatever he was going to say was cut off by Rossi’s voice over the radio, letting them know Benson was caught and being taken in for interrogation. Reid nearly tripped over himself in his rush to get out of the closet, not wanting Hotch to mention how lecherous Reid must have looked. He'd buy Rossi something to show how grateful he was if it wouldn't bring about questions of why he was grateful.

 “As many things as I have read, listened to, and watched, none of them have been about how to change a tire. Besides, do we even have the tools to do that with us?”

 -

Hotch and Reid were pulled over by the side of the road, a thick canopy of trees blocking out the light of the stars. Hotch was pacing outside the vehicle, holding his phone up as he did to see if he got reception. Hotch was ignoring Reid in favour of frowning more and more at his phone.

“It’s not a matter of how high you hold the phone, Hotch. Garcia told us the cell towers would take anywhere between a couple hours to a couple says to fix. I’m pretty sure she was going to say more, but then we drove out of the range of the cell tower that was functional. Hotch?”

“Reid, this was a hard case, and I wanted to get back to the motel, sleep, and then get home. I know what Garcia said, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Besides, what if they've come back online by now?”

Reid didn’t want to mention the statistics of repairs and timeframes, knowing he’d only make Hotch more angry. Instead, he sullenly lowered the back of his chair until it was inclined enough for him to consider a truly uncomfortable sleep in the car. After a while, the driver’s side door opened and closed, Hotch’s sigh at seeing Reid breaking the younger’s train of thought.

“You think it’ll take so long that we’ll have time to sleep, Reid?”

“Likely yes, but regardless, someone will mention to Garcia that we aren’t at the motel if this goes on for too much longer. And then she’ll let them know where we are based on the cell tower we were last connected to, where our call cut out, and where we were headed to. We’ll just have to deal with it getting basically pitch black, is all.” 

Hotch’s frown made a reappearance at Reid’s tone. “You truly don’t like the dark, do you?”

Reid’s silence was telling. He may have nodded, but both of them were leaving their phones alone to preserve battery power for when they could make calls, so there was nothing to light the car.

“Hotch?”

“Yeah, Reid?”

“Please keep talking. It’s… Stressful, right now. Hearing you, it’ll help.”

Hotch’s voice was odd when replying, but Reid was too focused on the near total darkness to think about it.

“What about?”

“Anything. Jack. What’s he into these days?”

Hotch was awkward to start, but as he kept going, his voice reflected how proud he was. At some point, Reid’s hand had encircled Hotch’s wrist. After a while, Hotch twisted his hand palm up and laced his fingers with Reid’s.

“You know, if they keep going down this path with nature-based experiments like the volcanoes they made, maybe you could help him?” After a beat of silence, Hotch made to pull his hand from Reid’s, but Reid’s grip tightened.

“I’d like that. You wouldn’t mind me coming over for something like that?”

“No, not for something like that. Nor anything else I can think of.” Reid’s chest felt tight. No longer due to the surrounding dark, but the nerves at what he was thinking of saying.

“What about… Could I come over even when Jack isn’t there?”

“I’d like that.” This time the statement was quiet, but Hotch’s thumb stroking the side of Reid’s hand was reassuring.

“Hotch?”

“Yeah, Reid?”

“You make the dark more bearable.”

After a couple minutes, Reid’s phone chimed, and he jumped in his seat, smacking his head. Hotch’s hand cradled the back of the man’s head as he fished his own phone from his pocket, dialling Garcia to let her know of their car troubles.

Hotch had given Reid a lift home when they finally got back, and the ride was filled with comfortable silence. Reid had been thinking about his conversation with Hotch while they were trapped in the car with a flat. His hands in his lap moved so he laced his fingers together, thinking of how it felt to have Hotch’s fingers twined with his. How Hotch’s fingers had carded through his hair a little when Reid had smacked his head.

“Reid?” Hotch’s voice broke his reverie, and Reid noticed the car was parked outside his building already.

“Sorry, I spaced out for most of the drive. Ah, thank you.”

“That’s okay. Are you alright?”

“Yeah, just… Distracted?”

Hotch nodded as Reid got out of the car, pulling his smaller bag over his shoulder before opening the back door for his go-bag. Hotch had already opened it from the other side, Reid’s go-bag in hand.

“Let me walk you up.” Reid hadn’t really wanted to leave Hotch’s presence yet, but hadn’t known how to prolong their being together. So with a smile Reid had to actively repress from an embarrassingly revealing and larger smile, he closed the door and led Hotch up to his unit.

“Excuse the mess I uh, wasn’t expecting visitors.”

“Do you often?” Hotch looked, for the first time, unsure. He was paused in the doorway, the handles of Reid’s bag held in both hands in front of him. Hotch was looking at Reid’s bag when he asked, but looked up to Reid with a self conscious air about him.

“No.” Back in his own house, and more sure that their conversations and moments had actually happened instead of being a tamer version of his dreams, Reid stepped close to Hotch. He tugged the man toward him slightly, reaching around him to close the door after Hotch was out of the way. He didn’t step back afterward, just bit his lip and looked back up at the older man.

“Does that put you at ease, a little?”

“For once, I’m pleasantly unsurprised.” Hotch set the bag down at his side, then moved his newly unburdened hands to Reid’s waist. “While that lifestyle isn’t bad, it’s not for me. And, I was hoping you felt the same.”

“I don’t do casual things, Hotch.”

“Would you mind using Aaron? We’re a bit close for surnames, I’d say.” Reid huffed out a laugh, his hands moving to rest on Aaron’s chest.

“You’re right, Aaron.” He went from looking at his hands to up at Aaron, the smile there easing the last of his nerves.

“Spencer, it’s obvious what I want, I’d think. Are you comfortable taking this further? Not- I mean by starting a relationship.”

Spencer nodded, his nerves coming back with more excitement in tow at hearing his first name from Aaron in this context. “Yeah, yeah I want that. I want you.” After saying that, he couldn’t hold Aaron’s gaze anymore, and dropped his eyes back to his fingers on the man's chest.

Aaron let him, for a moment, but then one of the hands at Spencer’s waist moved to his cheek instead, lifting his eyes to Aaron’s once more.

“Spencer, I need a serious answer to my next question, alright? Before anything else.” At Spencer’s nod, he continued. “I need you to tell me that you’re not doing this just because I’m your superior and you don’t feel comfortable saying no. I need to hear that you want this, work and our positions within it completely set aside.”

Spencer’s fingers curled in Aaron’s shirt. “I do want this, and you. I have for a long time now, Aaron.” Spencer was a little pleased with himself for not verbally tripping, because Aaron’s intense gaze had him off-balance, and their closeness had his brain and heart working overtime.

“Lastly, you’re not going to let this affect our work. If you want to question or debate something at work, you’ll do that as normal, without the fear of it intervening with our relationship.”

Spencer’s smile grew, and he let out a little laugh. “I’ll do my best, I can be good at compartmentalising.”

“It’s also hard for you to keep quiet about the things in your head, isn’t it?” Aaron’s smile matched Spencer’s, and the younger nodded as he lightly tugged at Aaron’s shirt. He looked at Aaron’s eyes before his gaze fell to the man’s lips, and he tugged at Aaron’s shirt again.

When Aaron leaned forward, Spencer’s lips met his in his first kiss in a long time. And definitely Spencer’s most anticipated. One hand slid up Aaron’s chest to curl around the side of the man’s neck, instead. A small noise escaped him when Aaron’s hands moved, one wrapping around his lower back as the other moved to press beneath Spencer’s shoulder blades, pushing the two closer together. 

There was a hint of Spencer’s teeth at Aaron’s lips before the younger pulled away, his breath fast and shallow. 

“I’m not ready for everything, yet, and it’s-it’s been a while, for me.”

“Spencer, don’t worry about me moving too fast.” His lips briefly met Spencer’s again before he pulled back enough to nudge his nose against the younger man’s cheek. “I’ve only ever been with Hayley, so this will be quite new, though very desirable, to me.”

A thrill of excitement and nerves shot through Spencer as his fingers played with the hair at the back of Aaron’s neck. “I-I don’t know how good a teacher I’d be.”

“You don’t have to be. We can look at it as learning together, if that’d make you more comfortable.” Spencer surprised himself with a laugh, then pressed his lips to Aaron’s again.

“I’ll take you up on that.”

Spencer came into the briefing room with his hands in his pockets and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Nodding at Rossi, he sat down and adjusted how his tie slid beneath his cardigan. When he looked up to be met with Aaron’s glare, he at least knew it wasn’t due to anger this time.

994. You’re trembling.

Another prompt by the awesome @aurea-b! For a moment I wanted to make Nines short circuit but I’m not that evil for once XD

Fandom: Detroit become human | Ship: Reed900

‘DPD, freeze!’ Gavin stood with his gun aimed at the woman’s head. Nines was next to him, aiming at the exact same spot. Save for the height difference their stance was identical, as they had cornered their fugitive at the edge of the park at Detroit River. The woman in turn didn’t know who of them was the bigger threat and was shaking her weapon back and forth. ‘Drop the gun!’, Gavin ordered and added: ‘You’re outnumbered and believe me, if you hurt one of us, the other is chasing you to hell and back.’ Their fugitive was still thinking of a way out, aiming at Nines now. But the moment passed, and she let her shoulders fall, throwing the gun to the ground. ‘Fine. I’ll come over to you now to arrest you, don’t try anything’, Gavin warned and put away his weapon. Nines didn’t move a muscle, as he watched his partner walking over to her, unhooking his handcuffs from his belt. He only got the chance to fasten the first one, as the woman jolted around and pushed him with all her strength. It hit Gavin unprepared, as he stumbled against the rail that hit his hip hard. The momentum was enough to let him topple over, no matter how quickly he reacted to the sudden change. For a second he seemed to hover in place, before he fell. Their fugitive used the commotion to start running again.

Nines felt his programming act up to a sudden software instability, as his HUD informed him of confliction mission parameters: [Complete mission.] [Save handler.] He calculated every outcome of both options in less than a millisecond and decided he didn’t [l/k3] any of them. [@nge-] rising together with his core temperature he threw up is gun, caught it at the barrel and threw it with the full force of a machine built for war and the extermination of all deviants. The weapon hit the woman in the back of her head, and he saw her fall to the ground unconsciously. So much to conflicting mission parameters. [Save handler.]

He shrugged off his jacket while sprinting towards the rail and leaping over it headfirst into the river. As he breached the water, he immediately scanned for any trace of Gavin Reed. He found him struggling to keep his head over the water with the weight of his clothes pulling him down and swam over to snake an arm around the thrashing detective and pull him to safety.

Once outside the water, Gavin began coughing and violently shaking in the cold wind. ‘Pull off your clothing.’ ‘Y-Yeah, th-that’s wha-wha-what you’d like, r-r-right?’ ‘Gavin, you are trembling.’ ‘Yeah- of-f-phcking course I am! I f-fell into the g-goddamn river!’ ‘Gavin.’ ‘No, the he-he-hell is wrong with you?’ Nines disregarded Gavin’s protest and got him out of his jacket and half of his hoddie, until-‘ ‘What the phck, get your h-hands off me! D-d-don’t you touch me!’ [Don’t touch him] immediately blared across his HUD. ‘Gavin, you need to get out of your wet clothes’, he near pleaded then as his actions were restricted. ‘You’ll get ill.’ At least now that the issue was half dealt with the human complied and pushed his hoodie over his shoulders, immediately shivering even more. Nines had his jacket at the ready and pulled it around the detective’s shoulders. At least so much he could do without touching him. Gavin quickly pulled it closer to himself and looked over to their incapacitated fugitive being pulled into a car by the backup the toaster had apparently called. ‘Phcking bitch’, he commented, before staring up at Nines, only now seeing how his hair stuck to his forehead and his turtleneck encasing his mechanical body underneath. Blue lines from his chassis shone through the wet fabric and that sight hit something inside him. ‘You should get up. You have to change quickly.’ ‘Help me up then, tin-can!’ ‘For that you would have to allow me to touch you, Detective.’ ‘Wha-? Yeah, phck, fine. You can, or whatever, just get me out of here!’ Nines took the man’s hand and pulled him to his feet, grabbed his clothes and helped him to their own car. He pushed Gavin into the passenger side and drove himself, breaking the unspoken rule that only the human was allowed to drive. But at least for now he didn’t protest, especially not as Nines pushed up the aircon to max.

Once back at the precinct, Nines shoved Gavin into the direction of the SWAT unit’s showers, supplying him with the change of clothes he knew the Detective kept in his locker at all times. Afterwards he already began working away at the report for today’s chase. Gavin came back twenty minutes later, still wearing Nines’ jacket over his own clothes. ‘Hey, err… I’ll keep this for a while, okay? It’s very warm.’ ‘Sure’, Nines commented, storing that picture of his partner somewhere safe. He looked [©u/e]. ‘Hey, tin-can, what’s with you?’ ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I mean that you are still phcking soaked. Wanna do anything about that?’ ‘I don’t want anything as I’m not deviant. But I can’t get cold or ill.’ ‘Yeah, but don’t you, I don’t know, rust or something?’ ‘I’m perfectly waterproof. But thank you for your concern, Gavin.’ ‘Yeah, okay, fine. But I don’t repair you if you do, okay?’ ‘Noted, Detective’, Nines smiled over the edge of his screen.

Not being able to deviate be damned. He would always find a way to save this human.

The Importance of Yearly Car Air Conditioning Repair - Beat the Heat!

If уоu try tо blast cool air іn уоur automobile аnd аll уоu gеt іѕ uncool оr еvеn hot breezes, thеn thеrе соuld bе a technical malfunction. Bеfоrе seeking оut a car air conditioning repair service, іt helps understand a bit аbоut thе inner workings оf thе cooling ѕуѕtеm.

Thе Components

Thе A/C ѕуѕtеm consists оf fоur main components. Fіrѕt, thе compressor does just whаt іt sounds like; іt compresses refrigerant gasses. Thеn аn evaporator takes heat frоm thе air аnd passes іt thrоugh thе refrigerant agent. Nеxt, thе heat boils оff оf аnd thе water vapor, reducing thе overall temperature аnd humidity levels іn thе vehicle. Thе condenser аlѕо plays a valuable role. Itѕ prime function іѕ tо kеер thе refrigerant cool bу converting thе heat frоm thе gasses іn thе compressor tо highly pressurized liquid. Thе final component іѕ called thе orifice tube оr expansion valve, depending оn уоur vehicle. It converts thе liquid refrigerant frоm thе condenser іntо a lower pressure liquid fоr entry іntо thе evaporator unit.

Potential Problems

Thе car air conditioner works thrоugh a complex interplay оf thе aforementioned components, аnd аnу number оf things саn wreak havoc wіth thе ѕуѕtеm. Thеrе аrе ѕеvеrаl typical warning signs thаt indicate car air conditioning repair іѕ needed. A weak airflow соuld bе caused bу broken hoses, worn dоwn seals, mold оr mildew, оr a fried ventilation fan. On thе оthеr hаnd, cooling capabilities саn bе diminished bу condenser оr evaporator damage, a vacuum оr chemical leak, оr a blown fuse. If thе A/C works fоr a short period оf tіmе аnd thеn produces warmth, thеrе аrе fоur potential culprits: leaks, blown fuses, a faulty compressor clutch, оr a clogged expansion valve.

This Car AC Repair Guide Solves All Your Cooling Issues

Imagine you’re on the road having an incredible drive and suddenly, your car AC fails you. This can ruin the best of days in an instant. Especially in a region such as Dubai, the car AC is probably the last component of your vehicle that you’d want to give up on you.  

However, the situation may not always be so dire. Sometimes, it could be a simple fix such as cleaning a clogged filter or recharging your AC. Whereas, other times, you may have to fix the radiator or compressor. Either way, getting a proper car AC repair is the way to go, if you want to enjoy the road again.  [Note - The following tips are powered by the trusted car service center of the UAE] 

What can go wrong with a car air conditioner?  

Your car’s aircon consists of various components. If even one of them starts acting up, it can affect the performance of the entire system. Some issues are a lot more common than others, and they include the following:  

A bad compressor 

Having a broken condenser 

A leaking refrigerant 

Faulty cooling fans 

Having a clogged AC filter 

This is why it’s crucial to get your AC system examined before taking it for a car AC repair. The tests will identify what problems persist within the console, to get them fixed as part of a car AC repair service. 

How do you know if your car AC is broken? 

Although a faulty car AC performance is one of the easiest things to pick up on, some other symptoms signal the requirement for a car AC repair.

A change in the cooling performance 

While this may be the obvious symptom, it’s imperative to be aware of it. You probably know your car better than anybody else. If you become aware of decreased cooling, no matter what setting you’re on, you should get it checked.  

Bad smell coming from your AC 

While this raises different implications from the other problems on this list, it’s an issue nonetheless. If you’re met with an unpleasant odour every time you turn on your AC, it could mean that there’s mould within the unit. This could raise health concerns if not dealt with properly.  

Hearing noises once the AC gets turned on 

Your car AC can function because of the presence of the compressor. The compressor works in cycles where it’s able to compress hot air and turn it into cool air. This process will eventually wear out the compressor, which results in grinding sounds. This is a sign that you should get the compressor checked, before getting any car AC repairs done.  

Observing frequent water stains 

Under normal circumstances, any water drainage is done from the bottom of the car after extensive periods of car AC usage. However, if you happen to observe water stains inside your vehicle, then it’s definitely an issue. When the drain is clogged, all the water from the Ac backs up and starts appearing under the dashboard, near the front foot mats. 

Observing an oil leak 

These two seemingly unrelated units are, in fact, related after all. If elements like the AC condenser, the AC evaporator, or the AC compressor get affected, it’ll result in a refrigerant or compressor oil leak. Any type of leak will reduce the car AC system’s cooling ability and will have to be inspected.  

Picking the right garage and mechanic is crucial here as they can inspect for signs of any signs of damage. They’ll detect what’s causing the problem and have it fixed, so you can drive again with optimal cooling performances.

The Bungle Bungles

Today, wow, where do I start? I am here just trying to decompress after a very very long yet eventful day! It all started badly, mix hangover with a electrical fault on the caravan which led to mass error messages on Roxy (read expense whenever you see an error message). We never actually thought we would leave Halls Creek, worse case for another 2 days as yep, it was Saturday, why do these things not happen on like a Monday at 9am! As luck would have it, as we hunted for an auto electrician, some random computer reset itself in the caravan and what do you know, lights people we have lights!

We decided that although we were later than expected, the Bungles were still on and after ditching the caravan at a rest area we were careering through creek crossings in offroad fun to what is one of the most amazing vistas of my life. It is really spectacular beyond all measure and bringing a tear to my eye. It was like an amphitheatre of striped rock domes, towering above us, intricately patterned. We managed a 30 minute walk in amongst the orange and black rock before retiring back to the aircon of Roxy.

We spent the next few hours whizzing over to the northern end of the escarpment, which has sheer 200m cliffs of orange sandstone.

On the way out we met some Korean guys who had just blown up their engine on the last river crossing. Water through the air intake and there they were at the edge of the water unable to move. With no phone reception, no tow coverage and at a searing 38c, they were in a mess. Our satellite phone came in handy and after a bit of back and fore, the local police were the best chance of hope. So we left them there, awaiting the cavalry.

This of course made us even later getting back and was agreed that a hot meal at the roadhouse was in order prior to stopping there overnight.

We were nearly at Warnun Roadhouse, when I said to Chris, wow it must be a way larger place as look at all those lights.....shit that's not lights, that's fire!

We felt a bit helpless, the fire was near the road (with the wind direction pushing it away from us) and all in all about 1km long. The fire was very close to the township limits but there were no fire engines, warnings or information on it. So we pushed onto the roadhouse and made enquiries there. Roadhouses in Aus are varying qualities and this was at the lower end of the scale. Helpfully they informed me we weren't going to burn, so all was OK. I am not sure that she even cared that we decided not to stay there but we decided to push on to Kununurra, which was to be our next stop any way. It was late, 7pm and dangerous driving avoiding cattle and 'roos both wandering across the road. But we really weren't comfortable on many levels staying there.

We made it by 9pm and apparently we have an amazing river view.... which we shall wake up to tomorrow. Oh yeah and the crocs....freshies so no need to panic dad!!

The Koreans somehow got their car fixed. Phew, we suspected they were students and wouldn't be able to afford towing and repairs. So alls well here, if a bit frazzled and happy not to have to worry about bushfires!

Low cooling agent degrees As opposed to popular belief, coolant does not spoil or diminish; a common factor for a lack of cool air is often a cooling agent leakage. Sluggish leakages can cause refrigerant levels to go down over time, which needs a check of the lines, as well as a recharge of the system to get it blowing cold air again.
