When Your GMC Air Conditioner Needs Refrigerant
July 17, 2009 by jcme
Hot summers are made so much easier with the air conditioner in your GMC vehicle. Unfortunately, things sometimes go wrong. You might have a refrigerant leak, or it may be that part of your air conditioner is just not working right. Fortunately, there are some sure signs that can tell you that your GMC’s air conditioner needs to have refrigerant added.
The most obvious sign, of course, that your GMC vehicle has a problem with the air conditioner is that the system os cooling poorly. If it isn’t putting out cold air, it can be low on refrigerant. In most cases, when it’s working correctly, the air conditioner should put out air that is around 50 degrees cooler than the ambient temperature.
In some cases your air conditioning system may have a sight glass, which allows you to see your system refrigerant. If it looks clear and there’s no cold air, you probably have a leak in your system. If there is foam or bubbles, it means refrigerant is low.
The best way to tell when your GMC air conditioner needs refrigerant is with an A/C gauge. This shows how much pressure is in your system.
