It’s recommended to have your vehicle’s A/C system inspected at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps ensure the system is operating efficiently and can prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Common signs that your A/C system may need repair include weak airflow, unusual noises, unpleasant odors, or if the system is not cooling as effectively as it used to. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to have your A/C system checked by a professional.

If you experience reduced cooling performance or notice that your A/C system is blowing warm air, it may be low on refrigerant. A technician can perform a refrigerant check to determine if a recharge is necessary.

Yes, you can drive your vehicle without a functioning A/C system, but it may be uncomfortable, especially in hot weather. While it is not an immediate safety concern, addressing A/C issues promptly can enhance your driving comfort.

The duration of an A/C service can vary depending on the type of service required. Typically, a standard A/C inspection and refrigerant recharge can take about 1 to 2 hours. More extensive repairs may take longer.

To maintain your A/C system, regularly run the system even during cooler months to keep the components lubricated. Additionally, check the cabin air filter periodically and ensure that there are no obstructions around the A/C vents.
