Air Conditioning

There is nothing more important than a properly functioning A/C System in your vehicle during those hot days of summer. If you have a problem let our certified technicians help you diagnose and get your auto A/C System working properly.

When you want to hit the road for some summer fun, a working AC system is a necessity. Sure, you can roll down the windows, but that isn’t going to really keep you cool and comfortable. When your air conditioner stops blowing cold, we have certified techs who can help diagnose and fix the problem. Our air conditioning services will keep your car cool and comfortable, no matter where your summer travels take you.

How Does a Car’s AC System Work?

To keep your vehicle cool, your car’s air conditioning system uses a refrigerant to cool and dehumidify the air. Today’s vehicles have very specific climate controls that allow you to set the temperature exactly where you need it to stay comfortable. To accomplish this task, the AC system uses these components:
Compressor

The compressor compresses the vapor refrigerant, putting it under high pressure and sending it to the condenser.

Condenser

The condenser sits right in front of the radiator. It takes the high-pressure refrigerant from the compressor and removes heat from it, cooling it down into a liquid. 

Receiver

The receiver holds the refrigerant while it waits to move into the evaporator. It also filters the refrigerant to remove any moisture.

Evaporator

The cold refrigerant from the receiver moves through a valve into the evaporator. The hot air from the cabin blows past the evaporator core, where the refrigerant absorbs the heat. This allows cold air to flow back into the cabin. The refrigerant then turns back into a gas and flows back to the compressor to repeat the cycle.

Blendor

Based on the settings you choose, air is directed Left/Right, Front/Rear, and hot/cold.
