Is Your Car AC Not Working? Visit Your Honda Dealer Today

Dirty Cabin Air Filter

The cabin air filter is a useful filter that cleans dust, pollen, and debris from the air entering your car. After months of keeping your air fresh, the filter eventually becomes clogged with dirt particles. This can restrict airflow through the vents and prevent the air conditioner from providing adequate cooling inside the cabin.

Replacing a dirty filter just takes minutes, but it can do wonders for your comfort. A new filter will allow proper airflow in the cabin and restore your AC’s cooling capabilities. Visit your local dealer so they can inspect your old filter and replace it with a new one.

Low Refrigerant

Your Honda’s AC uses refrigerant to remove heat from the cabin air. The refrigerant should be at optimal levels at all times to ensure adequate cooling. If the levels are low due to a leak in the system, your AC may blow lukewarm air or fail to work entirely. Our certified technicians can check the system for low refrigerant levels, repair broken lines, and recharge the AC.

Clogged AC Condenser

The AC condenser is the component that cools the refrigerant. If the condenser gets clogged with dirt and debris, it won’t be able to draw heat from the refrigerant. As a result, your air conditioner will blow warm air into the cabin. Our technicians can inspect, clean, and repair the AC condenser to restore proper operation.

Broken Compressor

Vehicle air conditioners use a compressor pump to pressurize and circulate refrigerant. The pump can break down due to improper overheating, poor maintenance, or electrical problems with the compressor clutch coil or control module. If this happens, the compressor will be unable to pressurize the refrigerant, and the AC will stop producing cold air.

The compressor is a complicated component, and only a technician should handle it. Our experts have the right tools and expertise to inspect the compressor and electrical components to identify faults. If your AC needs a new compressor, we will install an original one to optimize cooling.

Faulty Blower Motor

The blower motor powers the fan that circulates air through the AC system and into the cabin. If the motor fails, the fan won’t work properly, so your AC won’t blow enough cool air. Our experienced technicians will test the faulty blower motor and replace it to restore proper airflow inside the cabin.

Don’t make your commute miserable by driving without a properly functioning AC system. Contact Honda of New Rochelle to schedule an AC inspection and restore cabin comfort during hot days.
