Common Vehicle AC
Problems
You're not alone if you're experiencing problems with your vehicle's air conditioning system. AC problems are common among vehicles, from old clunkers to brand-new models. What's more, many of the problems are caused by the same things, namely, dirt, moisture, and other debris that can clog up the system and make it work less effectively.
The heating and cooling system diagnostic is a process that helps identify the issues with the air conditioning unit or the heat pump. The technician checks all the components of your system, including the evaporator, compressor, condenser, fan motor, and all wiring connections. This procedure is used to identify any leaks and to determine if there are any other problems with your car's heating or cooling system.
At Eric's car care, we have technicians who specialize in this repair work, so you can rest assured that your car will be fixed right the first time. We also offer seasonal tune-ups, so you don't have to worry about having problems with your heating or cooling system during winter or summer when temperatures fluctuate drastically throughout the day and night.
Eric's car care offers auto air conditioning repair services so you can get back on the road safely without worrying about getting stranded due to a faulty AC system not working correctly!
Our technicians are highly trained in evaporator repair and replacement, compressor repair and replacement, refrigerant replacement, and more.
