Air conditioning systems consist of many components that must work together. After turning on your A/C, the following occurs:

The compressor, powered by the engine, pumps refrigerant vapor into the condenser under high heat and pressure.

The condenser collects air flowing through the grille of the car to remove the heat from the refrigerant and turn it into a liquid state.

The refrigerant goes to the receiver-dryer where it is stored. The dryer also removes the moisture from the refrigerant.

When the refrigerant moves to the evaporator, it collects heat in the air, cooling the interior of the car. Fans help distribute the air throughout the car.

When the refrigerant vapor has collected heat and dropped in pressure, it is drawn back into the compressor to be used again.

While some car repair centers will simply add more refrigerant to your car to give you a short-term fix, we’ll perform a full system performance test.

We’ll check all your A/C components for leaks or pressure problems. Our technicians are very knowledgeable and experienced with air conditioning systems of all types. We’ll be happy to provide you with some helpful tips to keep your A/C running smoothly.
