My Car's AC isn't blowing cold air, what could be the problem?

You can go to any auto parts store or even Walmart and buy a can of freon for about $25-$35 and add it to your system yourself - Just be careful as to how much you put into the system - Too much can damage the AC.

Here's a few videos for you to watch and possibly save a few bucks - If you only have a small leak this fix could last you about a season or two.



I suspect you have a refrigerant leak, which needs to be identified and repaired and the system recharged.

Servicing the Freon in an Air conditioner requires the use of a refrigerant recovery and charging station to evacuate any air or moisture prior to charging and properly adjust the Freon level and to avoid releasing Freon into the atmosphere when making repairs which require opening the sealed system – which is prohibited by federal Law due to the adverse effect Freon has on the Ozone in the air which protects everything on earth from excessive solar radiation - A/C service techs take extensive training before they can service systems because they are much more complex than they appear. Definitely NOT a do it yourself project.

Agreed, the symptoms are classic of low refrigerant charge.

you may have a leak.have the system vacuumed and checked for leaks then add your oil and put in your freon.

Ok I have a 2001 Honda Accord LX 2.3 engine, and when I turn on the AC it blows air, but it's not cold its just mild air not hot either. What are possible solutions to this? Thanks to all who answer!
