What are the most common air conditioning problems?

There are many things that go wrong with the air conditioning system in your car, especially in a city like San Antonio, TX that has a warmer climate than many other areas of the United States.

Some of the most common AC problems in San Antonio, TX include:

1

Moisture Issues

Common repair issues with your car AC unit begin with problems related to moisture. If moisture or excess debris contaminates the air conditioner, it will fail to cool the inside of the vehicle. This leads to the need for repair and/or service of the system.

2

Clogged Condenser

The condenser is the part of the AC unit that’s responsible for cooling the vapors that enter into the vehicle. If this becomes clogged by dirt or debris, the air flow will be constricted and the air will not be adequately cooled. Whether this can be cleaned or needs to be repaired or replaced largely depends on the age of the car air conditioning unit.

3

Bad Smells

If you go long periods of time without having your AC unit cleaned and serviced, bacteria and other organisms can build up in the system and cause some rather bad smells. An AC unit is very dark and damp, which is the perfect environment for bacteria and fungus to grow. It’s a good idea to have a regular inspection and flushing of your system to solve this kind of issue before it becomes any worse.

4

Mechanical Problems

As with most parts of your car, there are many things with the AC unit that could go wrong and cause the need for service and/or repair. This includes items like a defective compressor clutch, a bad pressure switch, a faulty valve and many others. Because there are so many working parts and so many things that can go wrong, it’s a good idea to have a routine checkup done on your unit. Maybe at the beginning of the summer each year, or even when the weather is beginning to cool to prepare for the following year.
