Default Re: do you feel your compressor kick on?

It is normal for the engine to kick up 100-200 rpm. It has always done it on all my cars. It needs to compensate for that additional load. The A/C adds a decent amount of load on the engine....just think of how much electricity it costs to run one that cools a room at home...it takes a lot of power to run it on a belt.
