You Will Need Your A/C in Winter Too

While summer is now starting to wane in Cypress, Kohrville, Jersey Village, and Cinco Ranch and eventually fade away into fall, that doesn’t mean your vehicle air conditioner gets put out to pasture for a half year. The A/C is still just as useful for defrosting during the winter as it was during the summer; the A/C functions by pulling moisture out, which is an essential aspect of clearing your windows in your car when it’s cold outside and your body temperature inside is fogging everything up. If your A/C went out or started weakening towards the end of the hot months and you think it’s a repair that can be delayed, think again for your winter safety.

Quality Service Starts with Diagnostics

Like most repairs, the A/C service starts off with diagnosing what’s wrong. In some cases, there may be a freon leak. In others, electrical issues are not working, or vents are blocked. A/C problems are not the same from car to car, so pinning down exactly what the cause may be in your vehicle is essential. The typical leak test involves pushing an element through the system to identify visually where a leak might be occurring. Vents and electrical have their own diagnosis procedures. Most failures are typically due to a part malfunction or a leak. A Volkswagen A/C recharge is rare but possible as well.
