Tuffy Wyoming Smart Car Care Videos: Air Conditioning – Common Problem

January 14, 2016

Your auto air conditioning system cools and conditions the air in your passenger compartment. It also removes moisture from the air to keep your windows from fogging up.

A common A/C trouble is contaminated refrigerant (the gas that cools the air). The inside of the A/C hoses breaks down over time and miniature parts of rubber obstructs passages. This makes the system less effective and overworks various components.

Leaks can arise at seals and gaskets and may diminish the amount of refrigerant, causing the system to work too hard to compensate. Dirty components can have the same consequences.

Ask your Tuffy Wyoming tech for an air conditioning system review to make sure everything is up to spec.
