How to Recognize an A/C Leak

Car A/C Repair in Raleigh, NC

A/C Please

Our city can get both hot and humid in summer. In fact, the thermometer doesn't have to rise too far before you're likely saying, "A/C, please," after your car has been sitting in the sun. While it's nice to know that your unit will work properly on command, that only happens if the system is in good repair. Whether your transportation is domestic, Asian, hybrid, or electric, the team at King's Auto Service in Raleigh, North Carolina, is here to help you keep your cool. We've been a part of the community fabric since 1946, developing a decades-long reputation for solid service.

Spotting a Leak

Although we'll need to check your vehicle's air conditioner to confirm any problems and make accurate repairs, there are some signs you might notice that could point to a leak. One potential leak could be refrigerant. The system relies on this to cool the air entering your passenger cabin. While your auto may eventually need a recharge, it shouldn't be required often. If it is, a leak is suspected. We'll need to find and fix it so the system won't continue to lose its valuable refrigerant. Another type of leak is water that's extracted from the outside air. If there is a clog, it can't escape to the outside underneath the car. You may begin to see puddles on the floorboard/floor mat, or the carpet may be wet. If the problem persists, you may notice a nasty, damp odor or see mildew/mold on interior surfaces. Either problem needs correcting to ensure pleasant, safe conditions inside your auto.
