Compressors

What is an air conditioning compressor?

Your vehicle's air conditioning compressor is vital to its operation. It's what supplies the power to the air con system, enabling it to work, as well as being responsible for circulating and pressurising the refrigerant vapour. So, it’s a vital part of your car air conditioning system.

Air compressor symptoms

When the AC compressor fails, it'll usually need replacing. There are a number of different air con compressor faults which are quite common on cars, including bad wiring, contamination, lack of oil or a complete unit failure. You might notice there’s a fault if the air conditioning system is making a strange noise, or if the temperature inside your vehicle cannot be regulated. Not sure whether your air compressor is the cause of these issues? You can get a free air con check at Halfords, where one of our trained technicians will identify the root of the problem.
