Auto AC Repair in Gladstone, Missouri

Keeping Your Cool With AC Repair

When Roasting Isn’t Fun

Given the right context, roasting can be fun. There’s the summer hot dog roast, a comical roast of a friend for his birthday, and the smell of a peanut roaster at the ballpark. When you’re the one roasting in a hot car, however, the fun is most definitely over. Temperatures around Kansas City reach an average high of nearly 90 degrees in July and August, so an auto AC that’s on the fritz isn’t laughable at all. However, you don’t have to sweat over the situation. The certified technicians at Northland Auto Pro in Gladstone, Missouri, can help you keep your cool with reliable auto AC repair.

Some Common AC Repairs

Your best plan for keeping your ride cool is to let us check your car’s air conditioner periodically and perform any needed preventive maintenance services. This is particularly beneficial if you can bring your automobile in for service before the mercury rises. However, we’re here to help you keep your cool no matter when you detect an auto AC issue. A number of problems can arise, but there are a few repairs that we make more frequently than others. For instance, your system may work, but fail to produce adequately cool air. Generally, this points to a lack of sufficient refrigerant. This can happen if a hole (no matter how small) develops in any system component. A breach allows the refrigerant to leak, lowering the level until it cannot properly cool. Furthermore, the AC system relies on the condenser to remove heat and provide cool air in a heat exchange process. Anything that blocks or punctures the condenser can disrupt the necessary exchange. Also, the condenser relies on fans for cooling assistance. Fan failure can allow refrigerant temperature to remain too high, impacting the coolness of the air you feel in the passenger cabin. Additionally, the air conditioning system’s compressor is critical to the gas to liquid transformation that enables the cooling process to occur. Compressor failure results in the system not being able to cool. Similarly, if an electrical malfunction such as a broken wire occurs, the AC may not get any power and may not work at all. Finally, you may notice the result of an air blend door that has become stuck in one position. This component enables warm and cool air to combine to reach the temperature you set. Allowing only cold or hot air to enter, a frozen air blend door most often occurs when your AC has gone unused for a number of months.
