Air Conditioning Repair & Service

See Related Service Video

During summers in Dayton and Eldersburg, Glenwood, Clarksville, Columbia, and Gamber, you want to make sure your vehicle’s air conditioning is functioning properly so you always have an enjoyable drive. Your vehicle’s air conditioning system consists of three major parts, which all work together to move a liquid called refrigerant through a high pressure/low pressure closed loop system:

  • The compressor: This is where the low-pressure refrigerant gas is compressed into a gas at a high temperature, high pressure gas before it is pumped to the condenser.
  • The condenser: The condenser dissipates heat as well as cools the high pressure refrigerant gas so it forms a high pressure liquid.
  • The receiver: Before the refrigerant can cycle back through the system, any water that may have been created in the process needs to be removed. This is achieved by a component known as a receiver or dryer. Once the water is removed, the refrigerant can start the cycle all over again.

How do I know if my vehicle needs a heating & air conditioning service?

Whether you own a Toyota, Honda, Ford, or Hyundai, there are universal indicators that there is a problem with your car’s air conditioning and you will need to come in for an air conditioning evac/recharge service. Here are some signs to watch out for:

  • The air isn’t cooling.

If your condenser is broken, there is a low level of refrigerant, or the compressor has a broken or damaged belt, your air conditioning will lose its cooling properties.

  • You hear strange noises when your air conditioning is on.

Noise typically comes from a worn out compressor, but some other common causes can be a cross-contaminated refrigerant or the use of the wrong lubricant.

  • It seems moist inside your vehicle. 

The common cause for moist air inside your car is usually moisture or debris trapped inside your air conditioning system.

  • The air from your air conditioning smells.

If you haven’t used your air conditioning in a while, bacteria and fungus can settle into the system, creating a foul smell.

  • Something is leaking from your air conditioning. 

Leaking refrigerant is dangerous and this issue should be addressed as soon as possible.

Here are some tips to keep your car cool in hot weather in Dayton and Eldersburg, MD without the air conditioning: 

  • Use a sunshade or window visor.
  • Park in a shady area.
  • Purchase a solar-powered fan.
  • Keep windows slightly cracked.
  • Throw blankets over your seats.
  • Use a dash cover.
  • Keep your precious possessions away from the sun.
  • Cover your steering wheel with a towel.
  • Park in a garage when possible.

It is imperative to get your air conditioning repaired, especially in hot Howard and Carroll Counties summers. At Town and Country Auto Repair can help.
