Auto AC Issues Explained

Warning Signs Your Automobile's AC is Failing

Every vehicle is different, but your car’s AC system is comprised of numerous components that could all potentially have various sorts of issues. Any of these components could be the reason your automobile’s AC system isn’t reaching its optimal performance. While no make or model is the same when it comes to signs of your AC failing, the general signs are:

Sound: If you are hearing unusual sounds from either your vents or under your hood – it could be that your AC is failing.
Smell: When your evaporator has a bacteria buildup, it starts giving off certain odors. If you have unexplained smells in your car, that could be a sign your AC system is experiencing a failure.
Feel: If you are experiencing drastic inconsistency in your AC temperature, ice could have accumulated in your system or you could have problems with your compressor.
