Winter gives Carson City residents a break from the sweltering Nevada heat, but hot days aren’t far off. If your air conditioner is having issues, take a look at some of the most typical problems and solutions below. When your AC is showing signs of trouble, contact   Presto Auto Electric   in Carson City, NV to get it running as good as new.

Air Isn’t Cool Enough

The air conditioner may have an electrical issue that could lead to a short circuit if it only occasionally blows chilly or room-temperature air. If you recently filled the coolant reservoir, there may be a leak.

AC Has a Bad Odor

There are a variety of factors that can cause your car to smell awful. Bacteria in the air vents can cause the air to smell like mildew.  If you notice a stale, musty odor, it could be time to replace your air filter. Chemical smells are often the result of a leak.

AC Won’t Turn On or Off

Discovering your AC won’t turn on in the middle of a sizzling day is torturous. But there is usually a simple explanation. Most of the time, a faulty or broken part is to blame. A worn-out fan is another frequent offender.

Furthermore, your car's air conditioner may continue to operate even after you've turned off the engine. The battery will run out of power if the AC is used for too long with the engine off. A faulty sensor, relay, or fuse can cause this. Before shutting off the engine, disconnect the battery to stop it from draining while you wait for repairs.
