You do not want to get stuck driving to and from job sites in hot and humid weather without your diesel work truck’s air conditioner blasting cold air into the cabin. If you haven’t had the AC system inspected in years, bring your work truck to United Diesel Repair for an AC check. We will make sure that your air conditioner is running as it should be so you can count on it to keep you cool during the hot summer days. Here are some of the things we will do.
Refrigerant Check
We will check your air conditioner’s refrigerant levels to make sure that they are exactly where they need to be. Your work truck’s air conditioner uses refrigerant that is converted from gas to liquid and then back to gas to cool the air before it is blown into the vehicle’s cabin. This refrigerant can leak out of hose connectors and it can also dissipate over the years. You need to have enough refrigerant in the system to make sure that you have plenty of cold air blowing through the vents.
Condenser Test
Your AC’s condenser is located directly behind your work truck’s grille. As you can imagine, this opens up this auto part to pelting from road debris, especially on construction job sites. This debris cannot only clog the condenser but can also dent it, crack it, or damage it in some other way. Without an operating condenser, your air conditioner will not blow cold air.
Compressor Test
The compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant gas into liquid form and then circulating it throughout the system. The compressor tends to break down if it isn’t used frequently. It is important to have the compressor tested to make sure that it is working the way it needs to be without any problems. Without a compressor, you won’t have cold air at all.
Electrical Test
We will also inspect your air conditioner’s electrical system to make sure there is nothing wrong with any of the components. This includes the AC fuse in your fuse box. If anything goes wrong with the electrical system, you may find that you cannot even turn on your air conditioner.
Fan Test
Finally, we will also test the fan to make sure that it is ready to blow refreshing air into your work truck’s cabin after a long day on the job. Sometimes, the fan itself can malfunction or the problem may lie in the electrical system.
