An A/C Recharge Isn’t Always the Repair
If an air conditioning system is low on refrigerant, the refrigerant went somewhere.
Simply recharging the system may make it cold again temporarily, but it doesn’t necessarily solve the problem. We diagnose system performance, pressures, electrical controls and refrigerant leaks to determine why the A/C isn’t working correctly.
A/C Performance & Leak Diagnosis
A/C blowing warm? Cooling intermittently? Not as cold as it used to be?
We evaluate system pressures, vent temperature, compressor operation and refrigerant level to determine why cooling performance has changed.
When refrigerant loss is suspected, we inspect the system for leaks instead of assuming a recharge is the complete repair.
Compressors, Condensers & Refrigerant System
The compressor, condenser, evaporator and refrigerant-control components all play a role in removing heat from the cabin.
We diagnose and repair failed compressors, leaking or damaged condensers and evaporators, refrigerant leaks, expansion valves, orifice tubes and other A/C system components when testing shows they’re causing the problem.
Electrical, Controls & Airflow
Not every A/C problem is caused by refrigerant.
Electrical faults, pressure sensors, relays, cooling fans, blower motors, actuators and climate-control components can cause poor cooling, weak airflow or intermittent operation.
We test the system to identify whether the problem is mechanical, electrical, refrigerant-related—or a combination.
Why Proper A/C Diagnosis Matters
Automotive A/C systems depend on the correct refrigerant charge, system pressures, airflow and electrical controls working together.
A system can blow warm because of low refrigerant, but similar symptoms can also come from a compressor problem, cooling fan issue, electrical fault, sensor or control problem.
That’s why we test the system before recommending repairs. The goal is to identify
why the A/C stopped cooling, not simply recharge it and hope the problem goes away.
R-134a & R-1234yf Equipped
Gearhead Autoworks is equipped to service vehicles using both R-134a and newer R-1234yf refrigerant systems.
The correct equipment and service procedures matter. Refrigerant type, system charge and operating pressures vary by vehicle, and modern A/C systems can be sensitive to incorrect refrigerant quantity.
We use the appropriate equipment for the vehicle and refrigerant system we’re servicing.
