You want your vehicle to help keep you cool during the summer heat, especially considering how much time you likely spend behind the wheel. So when your AC stops blowing cold air, you’ll want to seek out the service experts here at Downtown Lincoln, where we can take a look at your HVAC system to see what may be causing the issue. Read on as we take a closer look at why your vehicle’s AC system requires regular maintenance, and how often you should have it checked.
Keep Your Cool
Several major components make up your HVAC system, and all of them need to regularly get service to ensure they’re working properly. This includes the air conditioner compressor, refrigerant, the drive belt, the air filters, and other mechanical components. When you come in, our team will go through every component of the system to detect issues, and if one is identified, we’ll inform you so you can make an informed decision on repairs or replacements.
Can You Recharge the AC Yourself?
There are a number of home AC recharge kits available, but it’s always recommended that you trust a professional service technician to take care of it for you. This is because many of these kits make use of explosive compressed gases, and many don’t use the recommended refrigerant for your particular vehicle. The service team here at Downtown Lincoln will ensure your AC is being recharged with the correct refrigerant, and it’s being done in a safe environment by trained experts.
How Often Should I Get My AC Checked?
You should at least get your AC looked at once a year when you come in for your spring or summer service. If you’re behind the wheel more often than the average driver, you may consider getting it checked out more often. If you notice any issues with your AC; such as it no longer functioning correctly, or strange odours, you should book an inspection as soon as possible.
