Whether you’re running errands or driving to work on a hot day, almost nothing’s more frustrating than your car’s air conditioner unexpectedly blowing out warm air. In most cases, this issue is caused by a refrigerant problem. If your air conditioner is unable to blow cool air, a refrigerant leak might have occurred. It’s also possible that the refrigerant simply needs to be refreshed.
Although less common, your car might be blowing out hot air because of issues with your car’s electrical system or a worn-down compressor. When the compressor is the issue, the refrigerant can’t correctly circulate throughout your car. If the electrical system is the problem, your air conditioner may have stopped functioning properly on purpose. The AC unit can power down to keep the remainder of your electrical system safe until a repair is made. If you find yourself in this situation, request our car AC repair services immediately to have the issue diagnosed.
