Auto Air Conditioner Not Blowing Cold Air? A/C Repair Specialists at Clearwater's A1 Tire & Auto Repair Share Expert Advice on Staying Cool This Summer

    CLEARWATER, FL, June 19, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With summer approaching quickly, residents in the Tampa Bay area will begin to feel temperatures rise outdoors and subsequently in automobiles. During a season in which average daily temperatures reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit historically, effective air conditioning systems are vital. In addition to being comfortable during rush hour, ice-cold auto air conditioning proves very important for families with children, or businessmen and women responsible for entertaining or chauffeuring clients.

Recent research by the organization, Kidsandcars.org, found that the average number of child vehicular heat stroke deaths per year since 1998 is 38. This statistic equates to one death every 9 days. The dangers of potential vehicular heat strokes have been found to apply to not only children, but dogs and other pets as well. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) shared that on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature of a parked automobile can reach as high as 160 degrees in less than 10 minutes. In an area where average temperatures reach 90-degrees each day, without a system in place to cool down vehicles, car owners will suffer from extreme heat and put family in harms way.

An auto A/C repair expert with A1 Tire & Auto Repair in Clearwater, Florida shared the following signs to help spot a faulty auto air conditioning system:

-Unusual noise coming from AC
-Unusual smell coming from AC (may indicate a leak)
-Air temperature not performing as selected
-Air pressure not performing as selected
-Leaking water on floorboards under dashboard

The system analysis is designed to ensure your auto air conditioning system is working properly and efficiently.
