Tuffy St. Johns Car Care News and Information: Air Conditioning – Common Problem

January 15, 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 issue is contaminated refrigerant (the gas that cools the air). The inside of the A/C hoses declines over time and miniature bits of rubber obstructs passages. This makes the system less efficient and overworks various components.

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

Ask your Tuffy St. Johns tech for an air conditioning system analysis to make sure everything is up to spec.
