AC Repair and Recharge in Bakersfield, CA

Weak Airflow

If the airflow feels weak, a few things could be happening:

• Mold or mildew buildup inside the evaporator from excess moisture can block airflow to the vents.
• A hose might have come loose, often one that supplies air to the blower.
• The ventilation system may be compromised by leaks or worn seals, preventing proper function.

My Air Isn’t Blowing Cold!

If your air conditioning isn’t cooling properly, these could be the reason:

• Freon Leaks: Often caused by faulty O-rings, hoses, or seals.
• Blocked Tubes or Hoses: Expansion tubes or refrigerant hoses can get blocked.
• Faulty Parts: This includes the compressor, clutch, blower motor, or resistor.
• Damaged Components: Condensers and evaporators can fail, along with vacuum leaks or broken fuses, switches, and control modules.

What Causes an Air Conditioner Leak?

The two main culprits behind AC leaks are age and moisture. Over time, rubber seals and pipes lose their flexibility, becoming brittle and prone to breaking. This allows the pressurized Freon to escape, causing the system to lose pressure. Moisture can also enter the system, and when it mixes with Freon, it forms a corrosive acid that can damage the AC components from the inside.

Our AC Performance Checks

During our service, our experienced technician will perform the following checks to find the root cause of the problem:

• A thorough visual inspection of all AC components.
• A performance test to gauge the unit’s overall efficiency.
• A system state of charge test.
• A system control test to verify the functionality of various components.
• A leak test using an approved leak detector to pinpoint any areas of concern.

After these checks, we’ll know whether it’s a Freon leak, a worn-out filter or condenser, or even loose wires. We’ll pinpoint the issue and recommend the best course of action.
