Is your car’s A/C ready for this summer? It’s officially begun, but Orlando has been feeling the high temperatures for weeks now. You wouldn’t want your A/C to fail on one of these hot summer days. Our qualified team at Toyota of Orlando has put together a list of what to look out for if you think you might need auto A/C repair. 

Learn what signs will signal that you need auto A/C repair

You may not know what the signs for a faulty A/C unit are. Our Orlando service techs recommend looking out for these signs to see if you need to schedule some auto A/C repair.

Your air conditioning unit isn’t turning on – If you have reached to point when you go to turn on the air and nothing blows out of the vents, there’s more than likely a big problem on your hands. We recommend getting auto A/C repair as soon as possible, especially in this heat!

When you want cold, it comes out hot – If the air that is coming out of your vents is hot for longer than a couple of minutes, there could be a few causes for this. It might be low refrigerant levels or even a burnt out fan, but we suggest seeking help from our Toyota maintenance team to figure out the true cause.

There’s a strange smell when you turn on the air – If you detect a smell whenever you turn on the air conditioning that could mean there’s a mold issue in your vehicle. It could be growing in the A/C and in the vents.  You’ll need to have this professionally cleaned. You can do that with auto A/C repair from Toyota of Orlando.

There’s a noise that’s new or you don’t recognize – A rattling or banging noise whenever you turn on the A/C could mean a variety of things. Since it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint the problem if you aren’t a professional, you should schedule some maintenance to check it out.

You’ve noticed leaking – If you find water in your car or even underneath your car that could mean your car’s air conditioning system might have a problem with draining. Figure out the source of the problem and have it fixed by taking your car to get auto A/C repair in Orlando.
