Heat is a constant factor when you live in Arab countries like the UAE. The city of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are not only famous for uber-luxurious life and fast cars, but they are also notorious for extreme temperatures.

And the convenience is that you don't need to put your head under the hood to look for these signs, you can feel it, smell it and hear it while you are going about your everyday routine.

Signs That You’re Car Ac Repair Is Due

You sense no cooling

Well, this is a no brainer, you start the ignition and take your car out, but after a little distance, you sense that there is no cooling, just air blowing on your face. This no cooling condition could be because of any problem with your car’s HVAC system. From extreme low levels or non-existent refrigerant to damaged cooling fans, it could even be as simple as a clogged up air filter with dirt and debris. Best is to continue the drive to one of the many trusted vehicle AC services in UAE.

Existent cooling, but you sense it is slow

Slow cooling can be easily attributed to depleting levels of refrigerant. This is a grave issue and should not be left unattended. If left without recharging or topping up the refrigerant levels than other parts of the AC can get seriously damaged. Further, the cost of repairing other mechanical parts of the AC will cut deep into your pockets.

You hear weird noises from the AC vent

 The AC system includes rubber parts for the condenser or the fan belt when this gets worn out then you can hear some strange noises coming from the system. It could sometimes be because of leaves entering under the hood which obstructs the flow of air and causes weird noises. If you hear something like that, best to get the AC system completely diagnosed and have the appropriate parts replaced or cleaned.

You smell something foul

Sometimes, turning on the air-con of your car may emanate a really bad odor. This is due to mold growth on the AC system. The bacteria build-up happens due to the process of cooling, condensing, humidity in the car. Water leakage and even lack of airflow could cause such bacteria build-up. You may think it is just a smell, but it could cause serious respiratory issues for you and the passengers. Instead of spending more on your health, its best to have a complete clean up of your HVAC system. You need to get to the service center for some good car ac repair services.

You see puddles of water or a stain of water under the dash of your car

If you see water drops under the car after you have the ac running for a while, that is pretty normal. But if you see the same thing inside your car, little drops of water, under the dashboard then it could be an issue with the water hose pipe of the AC. It could be clogged or even damaged, so the water back up flowing right inside the car. Best you drive by experienced vehicle AC services in UAE with a good mechanic.
