AIR CONDITIONING SERVICES
A/C Evacuation And Recharge Service
The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system. The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor, where the cycle begins once again.
Jiffy Lube® certified technicians will:
Visually inspect the air conditioning compressor drive belt for cracks or damage Visually inspect accessible components for leaks or damage Check the operation of the air conditioning compressor and other A/C components Evacuate refrigerant from the system Vacuum test the system Recharge the air conditioning system using the appropriate refrigerant to the system capacity according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications
