Signs your A/C needs a look

  • It does not hold the cabin as cool as it used to.1
  • It suddenly blows warm air.2
  • No heat in winter: low coolant keeps heat from reaching the heater core.3
  • Noises or smells when the A/C is on, or it works some days and not others.

How refrigerant is handled

  • Refrigerant may not be vented into the air when a vehicle A/C system is serviced.4
  • Refrigerant recovered from a system must be recycled or reclaimed before it goes back in, even into the same vehicle.4
  • HFC-134a has been the most common vehicle A/C refrigerant from 1994 on. Automakers began moving to newer refrigerants such as HFO-1234yf in 2012.5
  • Vehicles already on the road can still be serviced with HFC-134a.4

Not a comfort item here

Las Vegas averages about 78 days a year at 100°F or hotter.6 AAA notes that a parked car's interior can get 48 degrees hotter than the air outside after 90 minutes,7 and that heat waves bring more breakdowns, A/C repairs among them.8

The A/C and the engine's cooling system share the front of the vehicle and the same hot air. If the engine is running warm too, see Cooling system.

Questions people ask

Why is my car A/C not blowing cold?

If it no longer holds the cabin temperature as well as before, the refrigerant may be low or there may be another problem.1 If it suddenly blows warm, it can be a clog in the refrigerant system or a compressor that is not holding pressure.2

What refrigerant does my car use?

HFC-134a has been the most common vehicle A/C refrigerant from 1994 on; automakers began moving to lower-impact refrigerants such as HFO-1234yf in 2012.5 Existing vehicles can still be serviced with HFC-134a.4

Why does my heater blow cold?

One common reason is low coolant, which keeps heat from reaching the heater core and can also damage the engine.3
