Our AC Condenser Repair Service

When you bring your vehicle in for AC condenser repair or replacement, we follow a systematic process to ensure the job is done efficiently and accurately. Here’s what you can expect from our service.

1. Preliminary Inspection: We start by thoroughly inspecting your vehicle's AC system to identify any issues. Our technicians check for visible signs of damage, leaks, or wear in the condenser and other components.
2. System Recovery: Before we begin any work, we recover the refrigerant from the AC system using specialized equipment. This step is essential to prevent environmental impact and ensure safety.
3. Disconnecting Components: Once the refrigerant is safely evacuated, our technicians carefully disconnect the necessary components, including the AC lines and electrical connections, to access the condenser. This may involve removing parts of the front grille or other components for better access.
4. Removing the Old Condenser: After everything is disconnected, we carefully remove the old condenser from its mounting points, taking extra care to avoid damaging any surrounding parts during this process.
5. Installing the New Condenser: With the old condenser removed, we install the new unit, ensuring it is properly aligned and securely mounted. We connect the AC lines and any electrical connections that were previously disconnected.
6. Recharging the AC System: Once the new condenser is in place, we recharge the AC system with the appropriate amount of refrigerant, making sure it matches the manufacturer’s specifications.
7. Testing the System: After recharging, we run the AC system to test its performance, checking for leaks and ensuring that the air blowing from the vents is cold and effective.
8. Final Inspection: Finally, we perform a thorough final inspection, ensuring everything is securely reassembled and functioning correctly before we return the vehicle to you.

Signs of a Problem with Your Vehicle AC System

• Reduced Cooling Efficiency: The air conditioning system may not cool the air effectively, leading to warm air blowing from the vents.
• Unpleasant Odors: A musty or moldy smell can indicate mold or mildew growth on the evaporator coils, which can be both unpleasant and unhealthy.
• Fogging on Windows: A leaking evaporator can cause increased humidity inside the cabin, leading to fogging on the windows and reduced visibility.
• Frequent AC Compressor Cycling: The compressor may turn on and off frequently due to low refrigerant levels caused by a leak in the evaporator, indicating a problem with the system.
• Visible Leaks: Refrigerant leaks can be seen as an oily residue or a sweet, chemical smell.
