Common Air Conditioning Services
Air Filter Replacement
As air enters the cabin from the exterior, it passes through the cabin air filter, which traps pollen, dirt, bugs, and more from entering your vehicle. Over time this filter becomes clogged, reducing airflow and perceived cooling ability inside your car, truck, or SUV.
Often overlooked as it's hidden out of sight, cabin air filter replacements are one of the most common solutions to a weak AC system. Our team frequently exchanges dirty or poor-fitting filters for manufacturer-recommended equivalents from brands such as Motorcraft®.
AC Compressor Repair
Often powered using a drive belt and pulley, air conditioning compressors act as a pump that pushes pressurized refrigerant throughout the system. Over time, mechanical stress can cause clutches or bearings to fail, leading to fixed operation in either an 'on' or 'off' state.
At Ford of Northampton, our technicians are trained to spot the signs of a faulty AC compressor and help drivers retain the comfort of the vehicles they love. We'll help diagnose your AC system for damage, replace broken components, and fix leaks before sending you back on your way.
Refrigerant Recharge
As your vehicle ages, so do the lines and hoses that keep cool air running to your vehicle's interior. Inside your engine bay, the compressor, condenser, and evaporator work together to keep your vehicle cool by utilizing refrigerant to capture and release heat. Over time, AC systems lose their charge as refrigerant finds its way out of cracks.
Our team has the tools needed to capture old refrigerant and replace it with fresh R134a or R1234yf, depending on your vehicle's requirements. In addition, we'll take a look for any potential issues to ensure your car, truck, or SUV stays cool throughout the summer.
