Why is my air conditioning not cold anymore? Like most automotive repair issues, there are many possible causes for a weak A/C system. The most common point of failure seen at AutoHouse Automotive is low refrigerant charge. Undercharged systems will sometimes still function, although performance can be affected dramatically. In theory, the cooling system should never lose any of the factory-filled refrigerant. If your cooling system is undercharged, there is very likely a leak somewhere in the system.

What is the typical repair procedure? Most commonly, AutoHouse technicians will start by evacuating and recharging a leaking A/C system. This allows us to measure, by weight, the precise amount of refrigerant present in your car's air conditioning system. During the recharge process, a fluorescent dye is added to the refrigerant. This allows us to detect and verify the location of any leaks in the system. Any leaks detected will help determine the parts necessary to repair and restore the system to a like-new and leak-free condition.
