Condensers

A leaky condenser is a common cause of vehicle A/C issues. Unfortunately, repairing a leaky condenser isn’t an easy fix—usually, a replacement is the better option. Of course, our experts will work closely with you (and your vehicle) to decide which path to take.

Compressor issues are another reason why your vehicle’s air conditioning might not work as expected. Your clutch might not properly engage the compressor, your refrigerant might need a top-up, or there could be a voltage issue. Whatever the problem is—the Pro Cool NT team will get to the bottom of it.

If your air conditioning system has gone kaput, it might be time for a total rebuild or replacement. This is the best way to quickly get your system running at optimal capacity again—so you can enjoy those long summer drives without breaking a sweat.
 
Our team has all the expertise and specialist equipment on-hand to get the job done well—and to keep your automotive A/C system running smoothly for years to come.

Why is my car's air conditioner taking so long to cool?

There are many reasons why your car's A/C could be taking what seems to be an eternity to cool down to a comfortable level. It is always worth bringing your vehicle in to be inspected, as this problem is unlikely to resolve itself.

There could be issues with the compressor or the radiator fan which will require a mechanic to repair.

There are also valves, and an evaporator, in your car's airconditioning system that could be faulty, or alternatively, there could be a leak somewhere in the system that is making the system work harder to get your vehicle cool.

It is recommended that your air-conditioning is inspected and serviced at least once a year. You might want to increase that frequency if you have an older model car unless you have had a new A/C unit installed in recent years.

If you notice any issues, it is best to have your A/C unit inspected and serviced in the near future.

Keeping your air-conditioning running correctly is not only a matter of comfort, but it is also important for health reasons as well. An A/C system that is not professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year can become a haven for harmful bacteria. 

Always have any issues or servicing carried out by the professionals as the DIY approach can lead to more problems than they solve.

During the winter months, it is advised that you run your A/C for 10 minutes every few week as well. This will help maintain the optimal gas levels and also ensure the compressor will be working correctly when summer rolls around.

There are numerous problems that can cause A/C failure. If it is blowing air that is not cold, your compressor may have failed. Weak airflow can often mean blockages, hose issues or a problem with the ventilation fan.

If your A/C begins blowing cold but then progressively gets warmer to the point of being hot, discontinue use as this can lead to major problems. A minor problem can quickly impact the entire A/C system so ensure any issues are looked at by a professional as soon as possible.
