Sterling Tire & Auto Smart Car Care Videos: Air Conditioning – Common Problem
January 8, 2016
Your auto air conditioning system cools and conditions the air in your passenger compartment. It also removes moisture from the air to keep your windows from fogging up.
A common A/C trouble is contaminated refrigerant (the gas that cools the air). The inside of the A/C hoses declines over time and tiny bits of rubber obstructs passages. This makes the system less effective and overworks various components.
Leaks can ensue at seals and gaskets and may lessen the amount of refrigerant, causing the system to work too hard to compensate. Dirty components can have the same impact.
Ask your Sterling Tire & Auto service advisor for an air conditioning system review to make sure everything is up to spec.
