At Santa Cruz Toyota, most of our customers want their air conditioner to blow out a frigid wind when temperatures heat up in California. Our certified Toyota technicians know the Toyota air conditioning system professionally and understand that the weaknesses of the system are the plastic and rubber parts prone to wear & tear allowing refrigerant leaks. Recharging an air conditioning unit is all about adding refrigerant to a system free of leaks. If your A/C is blowing out air at the same temperature as it takes in, it is very likely that the system is low on refrigerant and needs Toyota A/C recharge service.
When was your last A/C Performance Check?
Many of our customers choose to get an annual A/C performance check for ultimate reliability when temperatures heat up in Santa Cruz. An A/C performance check includes a certified technician using a specialized air temperature instrument to evaluate the air blowing out of the vents. The air temperature blowing from the vents is compared to ambient air temperature and factory performance chart to verify the A/C unit’s performance. If the air blowing from the vents is not at factory specifications, we can perform the corrective service that restores peak cold-air production.
The telltale sign of low refrigerant is poor air conditioning system performance – it isn’t generating cool air. More often than not, the A/C unit will experience decreased cold-air production as refrigerant escapes the system. This means that the first warning sign of needing an A/C recharge service is that the air blowing out of the vents is warmer than usual. Rest assured that this symptom will only worsen until the air conditioner blows out air at the same temperature as ambient.
Our service center at Santa Cruz Toyota includes a certified technician with extensive training and direct experience performing A/C recharges across all Toyota car, truck, van, and SUV models. The certified technician uses specialized air conditioner recharging equipment that pressurizes the system and allows the technician to inspect the system for leaks. If a part is allowing refrigerant to escape, that will be fixed before recharging the refrigerant to factory specifications.
