Because AC systems are pressurized, they must be completely sealed to function properly. Over time, these pressurized systems can eventually develop leaks. Once any sort of leak has begun, they will eventually cause enough refrigerant to leak out to the point where the AC will no longer be able to produce cold air. Once the refrigerant and pressure level of an AC system drop too low, it must be recharged with pressurized refrigerant before it will function properly. Usually an AC system will begin to display a few symptoms when it needs to be recharged.

Your Mechanic

As stated above, recharging your A/C system is important for consistent performance. The A/C system is a pressurized system, and any coolant leaks that form allow air inside the system. For this reason, it is important to recharge & repressurize your A/C system to ensure full performance. At LTC, we have multiple Robinair A/C machines readily available to fix your A/C system. Before we recharge/repressurize your A/C system, we check your coolant’s freeze point, a complimentary service that is a must-have, especially during winter. If your coolant’s freeze point is -15, for example, it is all too easy for your coolant to freeze and sieze your engine, leading to costly, time intensive repairs.

Coolant leaks, especially in your hard-working semis, are commonplace. When your truck leaks coolant, the funcitionality of the A/C system is diminished. At Lemont Truck Center, we work with coolant frequently, from fixing leaks to recharging A/C systems, and we also offer premium Rotella Coolant for purchase, a must have when on the road.

A solid, reputable coolant is important to ensure your truck is running at its best. Rotella Coolant is a trusted, quality brand, and we are proud to offer it in our shop. Wheter you want us to replace all of your coolant, just add a couple gallons, or you just want to buy a “just in case” gallon for the road, we’re here for you.

 To purchase a gallon or two of coolant, simply see our parts counter when you’re here!
