Car air conditioning repair in Sioux Falls, SD.
If your air conditioning stopped working, it did not use up its refrigerant. A sealed system does not consume refrigerant, so if it is low, it is leaking somewhere.
That is why a cheap recharge is usually a temporary fix. It cools for a few weeks, then you are back where you started, minus the money. We look for the leak first and tell you what it will take to actually solve it.
The most common complaint, and almost always a refrigerant loss from a leak somewhere in the system.
Often airflow across the condenser, a cooling fan issue, or a system that is marginally low.
Frequently a clogged cabin air filter or a failing blower motor, and the filter is a cheap thing to check first.
Compressor or clutch noise. Worth diagnosing early, because a compressor that comes apart contaminates the whole system.
Moisture and growth in the evaporator case. Unpleasant rather than dangerous, and treatable.
High and low side readings tell us whether the system is low, overcharged, restricted, or has a component failing.
Dye, electronic detection, or both. Recharging a system without finding the leak is selling somebody the same repair twice.
Cabin filter, blower motor, cooling fans and condenser airflow. Not every A/C complaint is a refrigerant problem.
The system gets evacuated properly and recharged to the manufacturer weight, not by guess.

We can, but if the system is low it is because it is leaking, and a recharge on its own is a temporary fix. We would rather find the leak and tell you what it costs to solve properly, then let you decide.
At speed you get airflow across the condenser from driving. At idle you depend on the cooling fans. That pattern often points at fan operation or a system that is marginally low.
Often not. Weak airflow is frequently a clogged cabin air filter or a failing blower motor, both of which are separate from the refrigerant side and usually cheaper.
Spring, before the first hot week. Everybody discovers the problem on the same day, and that is the week every shop in Sioux Falls is booked.
