In the heat of the summer, the last thing anyone wants to experience is a malfunctioning air conditioner. A blast of cool AC makes any drive around Fresno more enjoyable. These reasons make it all the more important to prioritize your AC service and other routine maintenance checks.
Why Do I Need to Prioritize AC Servicing?
Routine maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep of your vehicle's AC prevent larger repairs and part replacements in the long run. When you get your AC condenser cleaned, your AC will run more efficiently and effectively. It's also important to maintain the coolant levels so your engine does not overheat. These small services contribute to the overall health and longevity of your car. Keeping up with your AC also makes you more comfortable, whether taking a road trip outside of Kerman or running daily errands.
Common Signs Your Vehicle Needs Its AC Unit Serviced
Between toting the kids around Clovis or commuting to work from Chowchilla, routine maintenance is the last thing on your mind. However, if you haven't already scheduled your appointment, here are some of the signs you should look out for that indicates your vehicle needs immediate servicing:
- No airflow
- Banging or rattling noise
- Mildewy smell
- Damp floor
- Hot air comes out instead of cold
When Should I Schedule My Service Appointment?
Typically, your car's AC should be serviced once a year. It would be best to have this done before the summer, but once a year is standard. If you're experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment to prevent a greater problem. The mechanics at our service center are well equipped to handle any of these issues and more. They'd be happy to take a look at your AC or any other routine services you might also need.
