Keeping it Cool

Your air conditioning system in your vehicle consists of a few components that require annual attention. The compressor is the heart of your AC system and is operated by your engine belt. It also includes an electronic clutch that turns the system on and off as you change the level of cool air you require in your car. While the condenser and the evaporator act like miniature radiators to transform R134 from air to a liquid and then back into a gas.


The thermal expansion valve allows you to decide just how much cool air you want in your car, so you are not always freezing. Lastly the drier or accumulator is a safety catch for your AC system. It protects your compressor from fluids that could damage or even ruin your compressor.


Even though your AC may work perfectly when you buy your car over time the bumps and jolts in the road can cause your AC seals to loosen which will cause leaks to occur. If your Freon leaks out your AC will simply blow hot air, and let's face it, none of us like to be hot and sweaty!


Having your AC serviced once a year can help you avoid costly repairs like replacing your AC system. As your vehicle ages, adjustments need to be made to assure proper, efficient and maximum use of your AC system. With all this summertime heat it's important to remember, you don't have to be hot all the time, Call 60 Minute Tune today and find out how we can make your AC system work like new again.
