AC Compressor Video

Air conditioning is important here in Lebanon, ME. The A/C compressor is often considered the heart of the air conditioning system because it circulates refrigerant throughout the system.

It plays a key role in the process that helps keep your vehicle cool when you need it. Running your A/C system regularly can help keep components lubricated and operating properly. However, if it takes too long to cool the cabin, an inspection may be needed.

Ask your service advisor at Pleasant Hill Auto Repair to check your A/C compressor if your system isn’t cooling as it should or if you notice unusual smells. If the compressor fails, the rest of the system will not function properly. Your car, truck, or SUV may not cool the cabin on a hot day or help defrost the windows in colder weather because refrigerant is no longer circulating. You can learn more about our A/C services and how we keep your system working properly.

If left unaddressed, additional repairs may be needed, such as replacing the clutch or the compressor itself.

From a safety standpoint, the immediate risk is low, but a non-functioning A/C system can make the cabin uncomfortable. There may also be environmental concerns, as refrigerant should not be released into the atmosphere.

If you believe your A/C compressor may need repair, call us at (207) 457-6292 today.
