​

Our technicians are led by an ASE Master Technician with more than 30 years of professional automotive diagnostic and repair experience.

​

Kool2U also developed its proprietary Max-Kool AC diagnostic process to provide a systematic approach to finding refrigerant leaks and diagnosing automotive AC problems before repairs are recommended.

Whether your vehicle needs leak detection, compressor diagnosis, electrical testing, refrigerant service or another AC repair, the goal is simple.

​

Determine what is wrong before replacing parts.

Professional AC diagnostics. Mobile convenience. Full shop support when needed.

​

Mobile Auto AC Repair Throughout Boerne

Many automotive AC problems can be diagnosed and repaired directly at your home, workplace, business or jobsite.

Kool2U mobile AC service may include:

  • AC performance testing

  • Refrigerant leak detection

  • Compressor diagnosis

  • Condenser diagnosis

  • Evaporator diagnosis

  • Pressure testing

  • Electrical diagnostics

  • Climate control diagnosis

  • Refrigerant recovery

  • Evacuation and recharge

  • R-12 service

  • R-134a service

  • R-1234yf service

  • Selected AC component replacement

For many Boerne customers, that means there is no need to spend part of the day dropping off a vehicle, finding transportation and returning later to pick it up.

When the repair can reasonably be completed at your location, Kool2U comes to you.

​

Why Is My Car AC Blowing Warm Air?

Warm air from the vents can be caused by many different problems.

Possible causes include:

  • Low refrigerant

  • Refrigerant leak

  • Compressor problem

  • Condenser problem

  • Evaporator problem

  • Expansion valve problem

  • Cooling fan problem

  • Pressure sensor fault

  • Electrical problem

  • Blower problem

  • Climate control fault

  • Airflow problem

Because several failures can create similar symptoms, simply adding refrigerant or replacing a compressor without testing the system can lead to unnecessary repairs.

Warm air is the symptom.

Diagnosis determines the cause.

​

Max-Kool AC Diagnostics

Kool2U developed its proprietary Max-Kool AC diagnostic process to provide our technicians with a systematic way to evaluate automotive air conditioning problems.

An AC system combines refrigeration, mechanical components, electrical circuits and computer controlled systems.

Proper diagnosis may require evaluating several parts of the system rather than focusing on a single pressure reading or component.

Depending on the problem, Max-Kool diagnostics may include:

  • High side pressure evaluation

  • Low side pressure evaluation

  • Refrigerant leak detection

  • Temperature testing

  • Compressor performance

  • Condenser performance

  • Evaporator performance

  • Pressure sensor operation

  • Cooling fan operation

  • Electrical testing

  • Climate control testing

  • Overall system performance

The objective is not to replace parts until cold air returns.

The objective is to determine what failed and recommend the appropriate repair.

​

Refrigerant Leak Detection

Automotive AC systems are designed to operate as closed refrigerant systems.

When refrigerant is lost, the source of that loss should be investigated.

Potential leak locations include:

  • Compressor seals

  • Condenser

  • Evaporator

  • Refrigerant hoses

  • Refrigerant lines

  • Service ports

  • O rings

  • Fittings

  • Pressure sensors

  • Other AC connections

Some leaks are obvious.

Others may be small, intermittent or difficult to locate.

Kool2U uses professional diagnostic methods to help determine where refrigerant is escaping before recommending repair.

​

Low Refrigerant Is Usually a Symptom

If an AC system is low on refrigerant, adding more may temporarily improve cooling.

That does not necessarily solve the problem.

Refrigerant loss may result from:

  • Leaking hose

  • Failed seal

  • Damaged condenser

  • Leaking evaporator

  • Compressor leak

  • Service port leak

  • Failed fitting

  • Previous AC repair

Repeatedly adding refrigerant without addressing the source of the loss may only delay the repair.

Kool2U focuses on determining why the system is low before recommending the next step.

H2: R-12, R-134a & R-1234yf AC Service

Kool2U services supported automotive AC systems using R-12, R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerants.

These refrigerants are different and require the correct service equipment and procedures.

The correct refrigerant should always be identified before service begins.

Kool2U verifies the refrigerant type and vehicle specifications before performing AC service.

​

Professional AC Evacuation & Recharge

A professional evacuation and recharge is different from simply adding refrigerant to the system.

Depending on the vehicle and system condition, service may include:

  • Recovering existing refrigerant

  • Evacuating air and moisture

  • Pulling the AC system into vacuum

  • Recharging with the correct refrigerant

  • Charging to the manufacturer specified amount

  • Checking system pressures

  • Measuring vent temperature

  • Evaluating cooling performance

If the system has lost refrigerant because of a leak, additional diagnosis or repair may be recommended.

​

AC Compressor Diagnostics & Repair

The compressor is one of the major components of an automotive AC system.

However, a compressor that is not operating does not automatically mean the compressor itself has failed.

Possible causes include:

  • Low refrigerant

  • Electrical fault

  • Compressor control problem

  • Relay problem

  • Fuse problem

  • Pressure sensor fault

  • Wiring problem

  • Control module problem

  • Internal compressor failure

Kool2U tests the system before recommending compressor replacement.

When compressor replacement is necessary, the rest of the AC system should also be evaluated for conditions that may have contributed to the failure.

​

AC Condenser Problems

The condenser releases heat from the refrigerant as air passes through it.

A condenser problem can reduce cooling performance or cause the AC system to stop cooling altogether.

Condenser problems may involve:

  • Refrigerant leaks

  • Road debris damage

  • Collision damage

  • Restricted airflow

  • Internal restriction

  • Cooling fan problems

Kool2U can evaluate the condenser and related components before recommending repair or replacement.

​

AC Evaporator Problems

The evaporator is located inside the HVAC system and absorbs heat from air entering the passenger compartment.

Evaporator problems may include:

  • Refrigerant leaks

  • Restricted airflow

  • Icing

  • Temperature problems

  • Drainage problems

Because the evaporator is often located deep inside the dashboard or HVAC housing, replacement can require considerable vehicle disassembly.

Proper diagnosis is especially important before recommending an evaporator replacement.

​

Expansion Valve & Refrigerant Flow Problems

The AC system must carefully control refrigerant flow into the evaporator.

Depending on the vehicle, this may involve an expansion valve, orifice tube or another metering device.

Problems can affect:

  • Refrigerant flow

  • System pressures

  • Evaporator temperature

  • Cooling performance

Pressure readings, temperature measurements and other diagnostic information can help determine whether a refrigerant flow problem is present.

​

Automotive AC Electrical Diagnostics

Modern AC systems depend heavily on electrical and electronic controls.

A vehicle can have the correct amount of refrigerant and still fail to cool because of an electrical problem.

Possible electrical faults may involve:

  • Compressor controls

  • Relays

  • Fuses

  • Pressure sensors

  • Temperature sensors

  • Cooling fans

  • Blower motors

  • Wiring

  • Connectors

  • HVAC controls

  • Electronic modules

  • Vehicle communication networks

Kool2U provides advanced electrical diagnostics when the AC problem extends beyond the refrigerant system.

​

Blower & Airflow Problems

Sometimes the AC system is producing cold air but very little air comes through the vents.

That may indicate an airflow problem rather than a refrigerant problem.

Possible causes include:

  • Blower motor failure

  • Blower control module

  • Cabin air filter restriction

  • Blend door problem

  • HVAC actuator fault

  • Evaporator restriction

  • Electrical fault

  • Climate control problem

  • Damaged ductwork

Kool2U can determine whether the problem involves cooling performance, airflow or both.

​

AC Works While Driving but Gets Warm at a Stop

An AC system that cools while driving but becomes warmer at idle can provide useful diagnostic information.

Possible causes include:

  • Cooling fan problem

  • Condenser airflow problem

  • Refrigerant charge problem

  • Compressor performance problem

  • Pressure control problem

  • Electrical fault

Kool2U evaluates the system under the conditions where the symptom occurs whenever practical.

​

AC Starts Cold Then Turns Warm

An AC system that works normally for a period of time and then begins blowing warm may involve:

  • Compressor control problem

  • Electrical fault

  • Refrigerant problem

  • Pressure related shutdown

  • Evaporator icing

  • Temperature sensor fault

  • Climate control problem

Intermittent AC problems often require testing while the condition is occurring.

​

Dual Zone & Automatic Climate Control

Many newer vehicles use electronic climate control systems that regulate cabin temperature automatically.

These systems may include:

  • Multiple temperature sensors

  • Sun load sensors

  • Blend door actuators

  • Electronic HVAC controls

  • Control modules

  • Vehicle communication networks

When one side of the vehicle blows a different temperature than the other or automatic temperature control stops working correctly, the problem may be electronic rather than refrigerant related.

Kool2U provides diagnosis for many supported automatic climate control systems.

Kool2U Mobile Auto Repair Google Review.

Really honest owner and his wife and helpers as well. Owner really took his time in searching for issues on my ac in my 2015 Peterbilt 579. Shop was on it. It was nice to know there are still decent folks around. God fearing family and I’m thinking for their beliefs in Christ. Dan M.

 

I cannot say enough good things about the business and those who run it! Each and every one of them were great: friendly, helpful and went out of their way to make sure that everything was done perfect. The blend door actuator was installed and they did a fantastic job of getting it done and finished that day! All the work has a warranty and the original manufacturer parts carry their part warranty.

 

You cannot find a better level of expertise, a better price, a quicker turnaround time or a more friendly, professional, knowledgeable or more customer focused repair business than Kool2U. I highly recommend them! Michele V.

 

Highly recommend Kool2U! Their responsiveness was great and the service was even better. Highly recommend Kool2U! Their responsiveness was great and the service was even better. I had a repeating automobile A/C issue and got tired of going to repeatedly to brick and mortar places just to wait all day for a fix that inevitably turned out not to fix the problem after about a month of use.

 

​

I can’t say enough good things about this company! Their mobile A/C repair team came all the way out to Bandera, Texas to repair, recharge, and service my entire air conditioning system right at my location. The technician was extremely professional, courteous, and knowledgeable, and the administrative staff made scheduling and communication effortless.

They diagnosed the issue quickly, explained everything clearly, and had my system running ice-cold again in no time. It’s rare to find this level of service and integrity nowadays; especially with mobile automotive repairs.
