Why Is My Car’s AC Blowing Hot Air?

Summer is here, and with it comes – you guessed it – heat. When you’re traveling to one place from another, it’s vital that you stay comfortable. C&C Automotive has the tools and experience to fix any air conditioning issues you may have. So if your car AC is blowing hot air, you may need one of the following three issues addressed. 

Bad Compressor

There is a compressor in your vehicle that distributes refrigerant throughout, and this can go bad if not used frequently. As such, you may experience AC failure at the beginning of the summer when you actually start to use it. So even if you have plenty of refrigerant, you may be feeling hot because the compressor has died. If so, bring your vehicle in for service immediately.

Leaking Refrigerant

Refrigerant is used to cool the air before it reaches you. If you haven’t had an AC tune up on your vehicle in the recent past, you may be lacking enough refrigerant to properly cool the car. Leaks can cause this, so check your garage floor for these. Refrigerant also evaporates over time, so you may be running low even if you do not have a leak. C&C Automotive can help with these issues – just give us a call. 

Electrical Issues

Modern cars have complex electrical systems that keep you comfortable and moving on the roadways. This includes your vehicle’s air conditioning system. If there is any issue in this system, your AC can fail entirely. This will have you sweating in your car at the very least, but can also pose dangers like fire hazards in your vehicle. 

No matter what problem you might encounter with your vehicle, C&C Automotive is here to help. Give us a call today for an AC inspection – we will ensure that your vehicle’s electricals are up to par, your compressor good to go, and that you’re topped off with refrigerant.
