Automotive Guide for Fort Wayne: Air Conditioning – Common Problem

January 28, 2016

Your auto air conditioning system cools and conditions the air in your passenger compartment. It also removes moisture from the air to keep your windows from fogging up.

A common A/C trouble is contaminated refrigerant (the gas that cools the air). The inside of the A/C hoses deteriorates over time and miniature parts of rubber clogs passages. This makes the system less capable and overworks various components.

Leaks can arise at seals and gaskets and may curtail the amount of refrigerant, causing the system to work too hard to compensate. Dirty components can have the same effects.

Ask your Tuffy Fort Wayne - Dupont Rd. service professional for an air conditioning system examination to make sure everything is up to spec.
