Performance Checks for Car A/C Systems

At Pohlman's Auto & Tire Center, we provide performance checks for car air conditioning systems. If you have an older vehicle or can't remember the last time you had your car's A/C checked, there's no better time to have it done with our limited time offer for a complimentary A/C performance check. We've had highs of 90° and above in Hamilton, Ohio this year, and there's a good amount of summer left to enjoy that will continue that trend looking ahead at weather forecasts. It goes without saying that no one wants to second guess if the air conditioning system in their car is going to work in this kind of extreme heat.

That said, you probably have questions about what a performance check entails, why it's recommended, and when to have one done.

What is an A/C Performance Check?

An A/C performance check is meant to catch issues with your car's air conditioning system, so you can address them before they become more serious and costly. During this process, trained technicians assess the overall performance of your A/C system by examining the compressor, condenser, refrigerant levels, and functionality of the cooling fans. They will inspect for leaks or refrigerant loss from hose permeation. A performance check gives you an opportunity to address any malfunctions or irregularities within the system, if there are any.

The performance of your air conditioning system is important beyond keeping you comfortable on a hot day. Should you have animal companions or family members susceptible to heat, such as young and elderly passengers, you will want to make sure your air conditioning system is in good shape.

When Should I Have a Car A/C Performance Check?

It's a good idea to incorporate this service on a routine basis, particularly before or during the summer season. If you drive an older car and don't remember the last time that A/C maintenance was performed, you should have it checked. As mentioned earlier, there is something called "hose permeation" that occurs over time. This refers to the slow escape of refrigerant through the rubber hoses that are part of the air conditioning system. While having rubber hoses allows for flexibility and durability, it is also possible for refrigerant molecules to penetrate the rubber and gradually leak out. So even if you don't have a leak, your car may have lower refrigerant than it should as a result of this.
