When I’m speeding down the road, especially when the weather is pretty warm, I prefer to use my car’s air conditioner instead of leaving the windows open. Sure, natural air may be a better option than the air coming from your AC but during the times that you have to keep your hair in place and your face dirt-free, your AC would be a more suitable option for ventilation. Since I value my car’s AC, I started asking myself, how do I know if my AC is about conk out? What are the signs that I should lookout for? Well, based on the information provided by Carjunky.com, here are the possible warning signs that your AC is about to give:

• The air coming from your AC isn’t the same as the temperature you set.
• Your AC starts to make loud noises (similar to the noises made by your tummy when you’re hungry. Just kidding).
• Water starts to appear on your car’s floor mats.
• Weird smelling odors start to come out from your AC (so you can stop worrying whether it’s you who has an “odor” problem).
• Whenever you turn on your AC, your car stalls or overheats.
• Your blower doesn’t work when your AC is turned on.
• Your car’s defroster isn’t functioning properly.

If you encounter any of the above problems, then it’s time to have your AC checked by a professional. Most of the time, these problems can be caused by leaks in your AC’s refrigerants caused by old or loose seals. But even if you feel that the problem may just be a simple one, to be on the safe side, have your technician take a look. A messed up hair and a dirty face aren’t the only problems you’ll end up dealing with when you have a busted AC.
