Is Your A/C Not Keeping Up?
Warm air is one sign. Your vehicle may give you others.
A vehicle’s air conditioning system can lose performance gradually or stop working unexpectedly. You might notice that it takes longer to cool the cabin, the air isn’t as cold as it used to be, or the system works intermittently.
Signs your A/C system may need attention include:
Warm or cool air instead of cold air
Weak airflow from the vents
A/C that takes longer than usual to cool the vehicle
Cooling that works intermittently
Unusual noises when the A/C is running
Unpleasant odours from the vents
Visible signs of a refrigerant leak
Rather than assuming the system simply needs a recharge, we can inspect it to determine what is affecting its performance.
Complete A/C Service & Repair
Find the cause before deciding on the repair.
Low refrigerant is one possible reason an A/C system stops cooling properly, but it isn’t the only one. The system contains several components that work together and proper diagnosis helps determine where the problem is coming from.
Depending on the vehicle and what we find, A/C service may include:
Air conditioning system inspection and diagnosis
Refrigerant level and system pressure checks
A/C recharge
Leak detection
Compressor diagnosis and repair
Condenser and evaporator diagnosis
Hose, seal and fitting inspection
Electrical and control system diagnosis
Once we know what’s affecting the system, we’ll walk you through the repair options and costs so you can decide how to proceed.

Keeping Your A/C System Working Properly
A little attention before summer can prevent an uncomfortable drive later.
Your vehicle’s air conditioning system operates under pressure and relies on refrigerant, mechanical components, electrical controls and seals to function properly. A problem in one part of the system can affect its overall performance.
Running the A/C periodically throughout the year and having changes in performance checked can help identify developing problems. If the system is losing refrigerant, simply adding more without determining why it was lost may not address the underlying issue.
If you notice a change in cooling performance, unusual sounds or other symptoms, having the system inspected can help determine what service is needed.

Auto Air Conditioning FAQs
-
Warm air can be caused by low refrigerant, a leak, compressor problems, electrical issues or another fault within the air conditioning system. An inspection can identify the cause before repairs are recommended.
-
Possibly, but poor cooling doesn’t automatically mean the system only needs more refrigerant. If refrigerant levels are low, it may also be important to determine why. Diagnosing the system first helps identify the appropriate service.
-
There isn’t one recharge interval that applies to every vehicle. A properly operating system should retain its refrigerant, so repeated loss of cooling performance may indicate a leak or another issue that should be inspected.
-
Intermittent cooling can have several causes, including electrical, control, refrigerant or component issues. Because the symptoms can overlap, diagnosis is usually the best place to start.
-
Yes. Winn Automotive provides automotive A/C diagnosis, service and repair for a wide range of import and domestic cars, SUVs and light-duty vehicles.
