Signs of a Faulty AC
The great thing about cars is that they almost always give you a sign before anything happens. So, if your vehicle’s AC unit begins to show these signs then you know it is time for a repair.
-
Warm Air Blowing from Vents: The number one thing you may start to notice is that the air just isn’t cold enough. When you see that the temperature’s still warm no matter how high you roll the dial, then it is time for a comprehensive AC inspection.
-
Weak Airflow: Another sign is if the airflow is weak or inconsistent. This means that, instead of your AC blowing a solid airstream, it’s blowing little to nothing. If that is the case, you may need a quick repair or a minor AC servicing.
-
Unusual Noises: If you hear grinding, squealing, or rattling, then something is surely up. Don’t waste any more time and drive your car to a professional AC repair shop.
-
Foul Odors: This sign usually starts mild before it becomes thick and inhabitable and it could be due to different reasons. While it may signal mold growth in one case, it could also be as risky as a burned wire.
Why You Should Never Delay an AC Repair
-
Increased Repair Costs: The first and most obvious hidden cost of delaying AC repair is that a small, relatively inexpensive problem can become large and costly. For example, if your AC is low on refrigerant, you might just need a simple recharge, which doesn’t cost much. But if you keep using the AC while it’s low, it can cause damage to other parts like the compressor or evaporator, which are much more expensive to repair or replace.
-
Damaged AC Components: Another reason is that if one part is not working, it may affect other parts as well, damaging more units. For instance, if there’s a leak in the refrigerant line, the compressor has to work harder to keep the system cool. Over time, this can cause the compressor to completely shut down. (Just so you know, the compressor is one of the most expensive parts to replace in your car’s AC system).
-
Reduced Fuel Efficiency: You might not realize it, but when your AC isn’t working properly, your car’s engine may have to work harder to compensate. This does not only strain out your car’s engine (making it weaker), but it also forces your engine to burn more fuel.
-
Possible System Breakdown: Finally, delaying AC repairs can lead to a complete system failure, where the air conditioner stops working altogether. In this case, you may then need to start thinking of a costly replacement of the entire system instead of a simple repair.
