When auto air conditioning systems break down or wear out, refrigerant can leak. Not only is refrigerant harmful to the environment, but it can also damage your vehicle’s evaporator and compressor. Getting a vehicle’s air conditioner serviced at the first sign of trouble can save you both money and time. Visit a Firestone Complete Auto Care near you for A/C services and repairs to help keep your air conditioning system cool and in check.

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON PROBLEMS WITH A CAR’S AC?
Your vehicle’s A/C can wear out over time and develop refrigerant leaks. If this happens, you may notice a few symptoms of a bad A/C system. Some common problems with a car’s A/C include:
- Warm air or hot air blowing out of the A/C
- Lack of pressure when the air blows out
- Failure to blow out any air
WHAT ARE SOME SIGNS THAT YOUR A/C NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED?
When your vehicle’s air conditioning isn’t working or is on its way out, you can look for these three signs that something might be wrong with your car’s A/C.
YOUR A/C IS BLOWING HOT AIR
Hot air coming from your A/C likely could mean there’s a major problem. When water gets into your A/C, it combines with refrigerant and creates a highly corrosive acid that eats away at the parts of your A/C system. This acid can ruin rubber seals that prevent the refrigerant from leaking. If the refrigerant leaks, it can cut back on your A/C’s cooling power.
THERE’S A WEIRD SMELL
A funky smell coming from your A/C may mean it’s time for some attention. If your A/C is blasting a weird smell in your face, it could mean mold—and, therefore, water—is present. The culprit might be a damp or dirty cabin air filter, or it could be a blocked drain in your evaporator case.
IT HAS WEAK AIRFLOW
Excess moisture in the evaporator core could cause the building of mold and other debris that block airflow into the interior of your car. A loss of air pressure may also signal that there’s a restriction in the evaporator core or the blower motor is failing.
