HOT OR COLD

A Proper A/C System Charge Must Be Maintained

Is your A/C blowing cold? Going into fall, this seems like an insignificant question. With the hot days behind us, the heater is a lot more important this time of year.

What some motorists do not realize is that when the defrost mode is selected on the heater panel, the air conditioning compressor is engaged and the air conditioning system is active.

The reasoning for this is that air for the defroster is first circulated past the A/C evaporator core. This makes the air much drier, clearing windows faster.

A properly working A/C system is lubricated every time it is engaged with the defroster. An improperly charged or inoperable A/C system is subject to internal moisture, corrosion and rust.

It is no secret that air conditioning work is very expensive these days. A proper A/C system charge must be maintained year around.
