01Most Common
Low Refrigerant
The number-one cause. AC systems are sealed; if refrigerant is low, something is leaking and recharging alone won't last.

Why Is My Car AC Blowing Hot Air?
Usually low refrigerant — but it could also be a failing compressor, a clogged condenser, or a tired blower motor. We diagnose first, then put cold air back in your vents.
Common Causes
Why your AC stops cooling.
Five culprits we see again and again. The first two account for most no-cool calls in Greensboro summers.
02Most Common
Compressor Failure
The heart of the system. When it fails, the whole loop stops. Often a downstream effect of running low on refrigerant.
03
Blower Motor
If no air comes out of the vents at all — hot or cold — the blower motor or its resistor is the likely suspect.
04
Clogged Condenser
Sitting in front of the radiator, the condenser sheds heat. Block it with debris and the system can't cool the cabin.
05
Blend Door Actuator
Cold on one side, hot on the other? This little plastic motor controls airflow and is a common failure point.
06
System Leak
Hoses, O-rings, evaporator cores. We use UV dye and electronic detection to find slow leaks before they empty the system.
Our AC Service
Recharge, repair, or replace.
Whether it's a quick top-up or a full compressor swap, we handle it in-house with proper equipment — not the parts-store DIY can.
Full system inspection
Pressure test, leak detection, and a check of the compressor clutch, condenser fans, and cabin filter before we touch refrigerant.
Refrigerant recharge
Recovered, evacuated, and refilled to manufacturer spec with the correct refrigerant for your year and model.
Compressor & condenser replacement
Worn compressor? Damaged condenser? We replace, flush the lines, and recharge in one visit.
Component-level fixes
Blower motors, blend door actuators, expansion valves, evaporator cores — the parts most shops won't touch.
Skip the parts-store recharge cans. They overcharge the system, contaminate the lines, and often turn a $150 fix into a $1,200 one.
Questions, Answered
Frequently asked.
A basic recharge typically runs $100–$150. The final number depends on your vehicle and how much refrigerant the system actually needs.
AC systems are sealed and shouldn't lose refrigerant. If yours is low, there's a leak somewhere — recharging alone is a temporary fix. Bring it in and we'll find the source.
We strongly recommend against them. They almost always overcharge the system, contaminate the refrigerant with sealants that damage components, and often turn a small repair into an expensive one.
A recharge runs about 30–45 minutes. Component swaps like a compressor replacement may take a few hours to a full day depending on the vehicle.
