AC BELT REPLACEMENT FAQs

Still have questions about AC belt replacements? We're here to help.

What is an AC belt?

The AC belt is a simple yet important part of your AC system. It’s a connection between the AC compressor clutch and the engine crankshaft powering the compressor via your vehicle’s engine.

How do I know when my AC belt needs to be replaced?

Check these signs to determine if it's time for your AC belt to be replaced:

1. Your AC will make a loud squealing sound when it is on.

2. If you notice cracks in the belt, then it’s a sign for it to be replaced.

3. Once the AC belt snaps and your AC system stops working.

4. Your windshield defroster isn’t working properly though this is a less common sign, it still might indicate that your AC belt has snapped or is slipping since some vehicles have their defroster connected to the AC system.

Is it safe to drive on a damaged AC belt?

If your vehicle uses one belt that powers all your car’s components it isn’t recommended to drive your car however if your vehicle has a separate AC belt, the only consequence will be driving without AC so if you’re comfortable with your windows down in warm weather then it won’t be a problem.

Why should I replace my AC belt?

If your AC belt isn’t working, your AC system won’t work as well. If you live in a place with a warmer climate, you can drive a car without worrying about your AC by rolling down the windows, however, it will be hot. Relatedly, you'll need a working AC Belt to warm the vehicle in cold climates.

How often should I replace my AC belt?

Usually, a car belt lasts between 30,000 to 40,000 miles. But it will also depend on how much you use your car, how frequently you use your AC, and other factors. Make sure to a your professional mechanic if your AC belt needs to be replaced.

Can I replace the AC belt myself?

Here are some steps to guide you on replacing your AC belt:

1. Find the AC belt, it’s usually found at the front of the engine compartment.

2. Know which type of belt you have.

For serpentine belt
