Gainesville FL Ford Services Specialists

Like any other vehicle being driven around Gainesville, the air conditioning system in a Ford is designed to offer both a comfortable interior cabin, and assist in preventing a driver from experiencing fatigue when behind the wheel. The engine under the hood, the road surface, and the sun all contribute to creating a significant amount of heat in your Ford when driving around Gainesville. The air conditioning system serves to circulate cooled and purified air throughout the interior of your Ford. The AC system operates using a series of processes that require refrigerant. In a Ford, the refrigerant facilitates the removal of heat from the cabin of the vehicle. Dependent on a compressor's drive belt, the refrigerant of an HVAC system goes through a continual compression cycle. The compressor will then move the refrigerant throughout the system, transforming it from a hot gas to a liquid, before cooling it. Other HVAC components all work to vaporize that liquid for the purpose of cooling the passenger area of your Ford. These components include the evaporator, compressor, and condenser.

The air conditioning system in a Ford is no different than other systems in that treating problems early can minimize the likelihood of more serious repairs. One perfect example would be a compressor needing replacement due to a refrigerant leak that went ignored or unnoticed. Needing to have Carrsmith Auto Repair replace a compressor at our shop in Gainesville can be significantly more costly than diagnosing and sealing a leak, followed by a refill of refrigerant. Other than the obviously reduced cooling capacity, other indicators that an air conditioning in a Ford may be having problems would include a fan or blower that is not working properly, hearing a noise during normal operation or stale smelling air. AC systems may fail as a result of a compressor that is clogged, the evaporator, condenser, or expansion valve. Having the Ford AC experts at Carrsmith Auto Repair perform regular maintenance can assist with the avoidance of major repairs needed later down the road.
