If you’re facing a summer where your car AC is not as cold as it should be, you don’t have to worry. These are basic things to check when your car ac is not cold enough

Basic things to check when your car ac is not cold enough:

  • Ask your mechanic to check it out
  • You can take a look yourself as well:
  • Check battery, fan and compressor. Do they work? If not, then you need to replace them.
  • Check gas too

Get a New Battery

If the battery is old and not charging, the car ac will not be able to charge. If that’s the case, you’ll need to replace it with a new one.

Make sure your Fan is working

Make sure the fan is not clogged with dirt or leaves. If you have poor air circulation and your car is having trouble cooling off, that can be because of a clog in the fan. To fix this, remove any debris that’s obstructing its flow by vacuuming or blowing out the vents.

Make sure the fan isn’t frozen. The temperature of the air coming through your vents could be affected by freezing temperatures outside, especially if you don’t have defroster lines on your windshield because they’ll be covered with snow or ice. 

If this happens to you, warm up your car before turning on the heat so it won’t get too cold while it’s warming up, which could lead to frost buildup around sensitive parts of your vehicle like an engine block heater (EHB) sensor located near one side kick panels that regulates engine coolant temperature during winter months when driving conditions are particularly harsh.

Check whether there’s broken parts inside such as loose wires which may cause short circuits leading towards overheating so make sure these are intact before considering any other steps since fixing them might take time if necessary replacements aren’t available right away but will save money by preventing further damage down road!

See if the Compressor Is Working

First, check the compressor. This can be done using a voltmeter to measure the voltage across the compressor terminals. If you find that it is not working, it may need to be replaced.

Replace AC Gas

You can replace the refrigerant, compressor, condenser, expansion valve, drier and receiver-drier. You can also replace the evaporator and air filter.

To make your car’s AC work better:

  • Replace your cabin air filter every 12 months or 12 000 km (7 500 miles).
  • Hopefully, these tips have helped you to get your car ac colder. If you still can’t get it cold enough, then it might be time for a mechanic to give your car a once over.
