Automotive Air Conditioning Services at Holm’s Mechanical in Delta, BC

Imagine the frustration of turning on your vehicle’s air conditioning during the first heat wave of summer, only to feel hot air blowing in your face. When that happens, it’s time to call Holm’s Mechanical!

How Does Your Car’s Air Conditioning Work?

Your vehicle’s air conditioning system cools the inside of your car by removing heat and moisture from the air. While the exact system can vary, all car A/C systems use key parts that work together:

• Compressor: Pressurizes and heats the refrigerant gas to start the cooling cycle.
• Condenser: Located at the front of the vehicle, this radiator-like part cools the refrigerant by releasing heat using outside air.
• Thermal Expansion Valve or Orifice Tube: Lowers refrigerant pressure, making it very cold.
• Evaporator: Inside your car’s cabin, it uses cold refrigerant to cool the warm air.
• Accumulator or Receiver/Drier: Removes moisture from the refrigerant and sends it back to the compressor to continue the cycle.

This closed system circulates refrigerant to keep your car’s air cool and comfortable.

What Causes Warm Air from Your A/C?

A quick reason your A/C might blow warm air is low refrigerant levels — often caused by a leak in the system. Since it’s a closed loop, refrigerant doesn’t get “used up,” so leaks are the main culprit. Other issues can include faulty parts or system malfunctions.
