A/C Damage and Repairs: Frequently Asked Questions
What Causes Damage to an AC unit?
There are many reasons why an air conditioner can become damaged and stop working properly. This can be due to a lack of maintenance, electrical issues, dirty filters, refrigerant leaks, or external elements that have physically damaged your vehicle. It’s important to conduct routine maintenance to all areas so that your car is operating at peak performance.
How Can I Tell If My AC Unit is Damaged?
There are a few indications to be aware of when you think your air conditioner isn’t working beyond its inability to cool down your cabin. You should also check if there are any unusual sounds such as grinding or hissing noises, unpleasant or unusual smells emanating from the unit, frequent cycling or turning on and off on its own, or visible damage such as cracks and leaks that indicate more serious damage.
What Should I Do If My AC Unit is Damaged?
First and foremost, turn it off! Continuing to run the AC unit when it is not operating properly can result in further damage to the unit and other parts of your vehicle. Second, inspect your car for any signs of physical damage or leaks which can suggest more serious damage. Finally, call us and let our experts handle it! Miramar Automotive and Transmission are experts in automotive and truck repair. With decades of experience, our technicians are dedicated to keeping your car healthy whether your vehicle requires specialized repairs or continued maintenance.
Why Is It Important to Repair a Broken AC Unit?
Unless you are fanatic for subtropical temperatures, it’s important to keep your air conditioner functioning correctly for the comfort it provides to your car ride. It also helps reduce the humidity inside of your car and prevent safety hazards from arising, such as fogged over windows on hot days.
Having your AC operating properly also improves the air quality in your cabin by filtering out dust and debris, and contributing to the overall health of your vehicle. It’s not only a question of comfort, but a working AC unit will also preserve your vehicle’s performance as they are linked to the car’s engine and can prevent it from overheating.
