Capital City Honda invites you to learn why your car ac is not cooling correctly.
Your car’s AC is not working because of a freon leak or a failing compressor. While these causes might be the most obvious reasons for the air-conditioner not cooling in your car, it could also be anything as simple as a bad belt or a dirty cabin air filter. No matter how or why it can be very disappointing when cold air isn’t there to combat the hot weather. Don’t get in a panic, because our experienced technicians know what to look for and are there to cool off your interior before the first heat wave arrives.
The most likely reason your AC isn’t cooling is because your car’s AC is leaking. The vehicle’s AC unit needs a freon to cool the ambient air temperature which produces refreshing cold air. Anytime there is a freon leak on your car there is no way to cool the air. Another source for your air-conditioning not blowing cold air is that the car is a hybrid. The air-conditioning system uses the engine power, if your car is in EV mode then the engine will stop running and not power the AC.
If your AC is on but the fan isn’t working then there might be a blown AC fuse. These fuses help protect vehicle components from a power surge and even though it might just need to be repaired, if your air-conditioning fuse continues to pop then it’s possible you have a larger issue. There can be the possibility that the vehicle’s AC Compressor is suffering from a low amount of air-conditioner refrigerant or a possible leak that has to be looked at.
If your air-conditioner is leaking, you can easily tell by random damp spots in your vehicle or puddles under your vehicle when it’s parked. For any AC to push cold air inside your car, it needs to place all of that moisture it uses from outside and flows down the evaporator drain. This can also be caused by the AC Refrigerant amount being too low which leads to the evaporator coils freezing up and an overflow of condensation. You need to have a lookout for faulty seals in the air-conditioner compartment or the AC’s air filters in case the problem keeps happening.
