Imagine a situation where you travel on a busy road with sun beating the hell out of the earth through intense heat waves. Suddenly your car’s A/C stops working and the temperature inside the car getting intolerably heat. Though the overall car operation will not be interfered with the issues in the vehicle’s air conditioning system the driver’s comfort in a challenging weather is very important for safe driving. For avoiding this kind of scenario you should make sure the a/c recharged fully in regular intervals.
Here are some basic tips to boost the efficiency of air conditioning system in your car.
Summer months are always challenging for the cars to give full capacity to the air conditioners and cope up with the other complex operations. Maintaining proper level of refrigerant with complete recharge of cooling agent is the only solution to avoid A/C malfunction. Blowing of the A/C can be easily sensed in the times of error and damage to the cooling system.
With the help of some safety measurements such as safety googles and gloves you can recharge the air conditioner by yourself. All you need is A/C pressure gauge and R-134a refrigerant for recharging the entire cooling apparatus. Always check the pressure gauge before starting the recharge process. Begin the recharging input into the system by periodically checking the pressure gauge.
The most important aspect of self-recharging of A/C is to completely avoid taking the work if you are not well versed with the refrigerant details. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had warned the fire explosion and injury accidents in R-22a recharge for the A/Cs that doesn’t have the propane mechanism. So make sure you use a proper refrigerant keeping the car’s make into the consideration or else call for a professional help which is always a safe bet.
EPA approves refrigerant should only be used for the recharging of motor vehicle air conditioning systems (MVAC).
It is always a good practice to do your own research before involving in the task of recharge. Record the issue and take it to a professional mechanic for claiming warranty or replacement.
