Signs your A/C needs service

Air not as cold as it used to be
Warm air blowing instead of cold
Weak airflow even on max
Strange smells from the vents
Unusual noises when A/C is on (clicking, grinding)
Visible refrigerant leaks (oily residue around fittings)

A/C recharge in Orleans

If your A/C just isn't cold anymore, the most common cause is low refrigerant from a slow leak (all systems leak slowly over time). A proper recharge isn't just topping off — we evacuate the system, vacuum-test for leaks, then refill with the exact amount of refrigerant your vehicle requires. Topping off without checking is how systems get over-pressurized and damaged.

Don't ignore weak A/C

A leaking A/C system that you keep recharging eventually destroys the compressor (the most expensive component). Catching a leak early — usually a $50 o-ring — saves the $1,500+ compressor replacement. If your A/C isn't as cold as last summer, get it checked.

Pre-summer A/C check

Spring is the best time to service your A/C. Booking before the heat wave hits means shorter wait times and you're ready when summer arrives.
