A/C Compressor Service

A/C Compressor Service at Stanley Ford Eastland

As you travel around Breckenridge, Stephenville, and Cisco in your vehicle, you like knowing that the cabin is comfortable regardless of the outside temperature. You can thank your heating and cooling system for the cabin climate, but the temperature can change if your A/C compressor fails. You can count on the service team at Stanley Ford Eastland to service the compressor if you’re having problems.

What is an A/C Compressor?

The compressor in the A/C system circulates the refrigerant through the system. The compressor compresses the refrigerant and moves it to the condenser where the hot gas turns to cold liquid that absorbs the heat inside the cabin. Once the liquid moves through the expansion valve, it returns to its gas state and starts the process over.

The compressor cools the cabin, but it also removes excess moisture inside. Removing the extra moisture helps prevent fog that can cloud your windows. The compressor also works in the winter to dissipate frost.

Signs that Your A/C Compressor Needs Servicing

If your compressor is failing, you’ll notice some signs that indicate you need to take it to the service center at Stanley Ford Eastland for a diagnosis.

• The cabin doesn’t cool out adequately.
• You hear unusual noises or vibrations in the cabin.
• The system cycles on and off more often.
• You notice a sweet but chemical smell under the hood of the vehicle.
• You hear a hissing noise, which indicates that the refrigerant is leaking.
• Your fuel consumption goes up as the A/C must run more often to cool out the cabin.

If you ignore these signs, you could end up causing more damage to the A/C system. The serpentine belt can break, which also operates other systems, such as power steering.

If you sell your vehicle without fixing the compressor, the value will be lower. A working A/C is one of the major factors in determining a vehicle’s worth.

To help determine if the issue is with the compressor, you can turn up the air conditioner and see if it cools quickly. Listen for grinding noises and check for leaks. To prevent issues, you should have your system inspected and serviced each year. The service technicians will inspect the system, look for leaks, recharge the refrigerant, and let you know if any repairs are needed.
