What is the reasion if the car air conditioner works slow?

Question

Hello,

When i turn on the air conditioner of the car, it did give me the cold air, but it took long time to make it cool. Does that mean I have to fill some Freon in the car? Is that expensive?

What else the reasion would be?

Thank you!

Answer 1

probally low on freon you can get you ac charged at any local autoshop

Answer 2

There is no normal loss of refrigerant. if you are running low there is a leak somewhere. refrigerant does not disappear.  be that as it may if it is a small leak get an evacuate and recharge service.. most cost around a hundred dollars.  your low on refrigerant and it takes a while for the proper pressure to build up to promote efficient cooling.  

Answer 3

yea probably need freon can get at walmart cheap.or any auto shop.

sometimes the car may be old and there is not mch to do. unless you but a whole intire AC vent. that can be expencive.good luck.

Answer 4

Sounds like your refrigerant is running low. This can be a normal loss if the vehicle is older, or it can be a faulty part causing it to leak out. A good shop can check it out, look for an AC special and take it then. We used to charge 79.95 for that. If there is a problem expect to pay more.
