This is a question that I used to be asked constantly, frequently by email. As the answer is not straightforward and what is more, I do not do installations like this, I will go into it a little. There are not many cars now that do not have AC fitted as standard and those that do not would normally tend to be from a few years ago. Although originally written perhaps 10 years ago this page may still be slightly useful.
If your car does not have AC at all, apart from a little advice, I cannot help. As to the cost the following paragraphs may help a little. Firstly it should be noted that to install AC into a car whilst it is being assembled is a great deal easier and thus cheaper than it is to add it later to a finished car. Having AC fitted later can be a bit of a shock financially.
Cars in the first category are frequently relatively simple to retrofit AC as the Japanese tend to install the evaporator under the dashboard in front of the passengers knees, where it is relatively easy to access.
The second, European type cars generally have the evaporator mounted underneath or behind the heater matrix right deep behind the dashboard, which means that to access it the whole dashboard with all the wiring, airbags, possibly the steering column needs to come out. This can be a very lengthy and expensive task, possibly up to two days work. The evaporator is not the whole story of course, many cars have the wiring loom for AC installed in all models, whether actually fitted with AC or not.
Cause lowering the window won't help in summer. Seriously not worth. Not worth it because there's a chance it's not going to be done correctly and you'll get a leak etc.
If your going to get it done do it at the dealership. Constant electrical problems made them give up. Maybe if I were restoring a car then yeah but not worth the money. I'll echo that sentiment.
Dont Do It!!! After a couple of years I looked in to getting air but too much hassle, too much money, reliability concerns. Buy a car that already has it.
Maruti Suzuki Gypsy does not have air conditioning features in any of the variant. AC would be useful provided you have closed cabin like normal hatchbacks or sedans like that. Though technically it is possible to fit one. The most common causes of broken air conditioning are leaks or compressor issues. If your air is blowing cool but not cold, the problem could be a clogged filter, cooling fan problem, radiator trouble, or it could simply be that you need to recharge your AC.
When it's time for an AC recharge , turn to AutoZone. You can shop online for same day in-store pick up or go to your local AutoZone to find the right AC solution for you and your vehicle. Low Refrigerant: Low refrigerant will prevent your air conditioner from operating the clutch won't kick in and make the compressor cycle if the amount of pressure in the system is off. This is actually the single most common problem for an AC not to blow cold.
The same is true for your car's AC system. Hot air coming from your car AC vents can mean that you have low levels of refrigerant. It can also be due to a problem in the condenser, the compressor, the cooling fan, or the electrical system of your car. During an AC Evacuation and Recharge Service, Jiffy Lube technicians will: Recharge the AC system with the correct amount of refrigerant according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
The most obvious symptom that a vehicle needs to be recharged is that there will be a noticeable loss in the overall cooling capability of the AC system. AC clutch fails to engage. Visible signs of refrigerant leaks. We have developed a method of removing the air from a system without the use of a vacuum pump. The method requires the installation of an access valve on the high and low side of the system.
