Why Do I Need This Service?
Proper heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as defrosting. The HVAC system will work as designed when you need it if you perform this service.
Typical Service
A thorough inspection of your car’s HVAC system should be performed annually
- A service technician checks pressures
to test operation, refrigerant charge and outlet temperatures.
- If the system is found to be low on refrigerant, a leak test is performed to find the source of the leak.
|
- Refrigerant may be added if necessary to “top off” the system (some states do not allow “topping off”).
- A technician may also check for evidence of refrigerant cross-contamination, which is the mixing of refrigerants. A/C service should also include a check of the compressor’s drive belt and tension.
