Brittany, I want to talk about air conditioning, specifically about service and repair issues. Sure t Look, for most of us, we don't give our air conditioning a second thought, as long as it's making cold air, right? But it's a complex and expensive system that we should t Well, what do you mean? Well, for example, you may not know that the refrigerant in the air conditioner circulates a special oil that lubricates the AC parts. As refrigerant leaks out, the lubricant doesn't get moved through the system, and the compressor doesn't get enough oil to protect it, and it wears out faster than it should. And replacing a compressor is pretty expensive. So it's important to inspect the air conditioner for leaks, as recommended, and recharge the refrigerant as needed. Absolutely. And recharging the refrigerant has another benefit. The system tends to gather moisture and become corrosive. That causes leaks in the system, w Recharging the AC system with refrigerant protects the air conditioning components and keeps the system operating at peak efficiency, so it doesn't have to work as hard to keep you cool. In fact, the n Okay, well, that's really good to know. Now, even with regular service, AC parts can just wear out, can'they? Yes. Normal wear and tear eventually gets to all moving parts. Addressing problems early can save on more extensive repairs down the road. Okay, so check your owner's manual, or ask your service advisor for inspection recommendations. You got it. And if you're hearing strange sounds when your air conditioning turns on, or if it just isn't as cold as it used to be, have us give it a once over and see what it'll take to keep you cool.
