Know the warning signs

When your air con needs attention

Recognise common air conditioning problems early. Spotting these signs now means easier, cheaper fixes later.

Weak air conditioning vent showing low airflow

Weak or no cold air

Your AC blows but isn't cooling properly. Usually means low refrigerant or a system leak.

Dirty cabin air filter held to light showing contamination

Musty or foul smell

Unpleasant odours from your vents signal mold or bacteria in the system. Needs cleaning or filter replacement.

Engine bay showing air conditioning compressor and serpentine belt

Strange noises from the AC

Rattling, squealing, or grinding sounds mean worn belts, loose parts, or compressor problems.

Dashboard climate control panel showing temperature settings

Inconsistent cooling

AC works sometimes but not always, or cools unevenly. Often indicates electrical issues or refrigerant problems.

Fluid leak stains visible on ground beneath vehicle

Visible fluid leaks

Oil or refrigerant pooling under your car means internal damage. Needs immediate inspection.

Hand pressing air conditioning system button on dashboard

System won't turn on

AC button does nothing or compressor won't engage. Electrical fault or compressor failure.
