Although the heating and air conditioning systems are interconnected, they are separate systems that function independently. Car owners must take care of heating and cooling systems as they are like any other part or system. It is essential to maintain both systems in good condition and increase the life expectancy of your vehicle. Scheduled maintenance reduces the chance of annoying gremlins damaging your vehicle’s heating or cooling system.
We are experts in vehicle cooling and heating systems and understand the importance of maintaining these systems. We use multi-point inspections and processes to make sure every component of the heating or A/C system works efficiently and effectively. We will find the root cause of your problem and fix it.
Common Problems with The A/C System
* Low refrigerant This is the most common problem that an A/C system in a vehicle faces. Low refrigerant levels can cause the air conditioner to make a loud, but not cooling sound. The refrigerant level will determine whether the A/C blows cool or warm air. However, it won’t be cold. This is not something you want to experience in summer. A coolant top-up is necessary. You will need to top-up your coolant depending on the make and model of your vehicle. R-12, R134a
* Leaking or Clogged Condenser If the A/C doesn’t have enough refrigerant running through it as per the OEM design, there will be no cool air coming out of the vents. Leakage from the condenser can cause the A/C to be less effective. The flow of refrigerant will be restricted by crud buildup at the front. The car’s air conditioner could make a lot of noise, and it may not work.
* Damaged Condenser The A/C condenser controls heat exchange, which allows the A/C system heat to be emitted outside. It is located in front of the vehicle to ensure that the condenser functions efficiently. This makes it more vulnerable to being hit by rocks or other objects. To prevent further damage, the condenser must be replaced immediately if it is damaged by a knock.
Another issue A/C systems often face is the Broken Belt .
Common reasons why your heating system does not work
* Low Coolant Your car heats up the cabin using the heat from the coolant engine. The heater core is where the coolant flows from the engine block. Heat is transferred from the coolant to cabin air at the heater core. Low coolant levels can reduce heat evacuation efficiency from the engine. This decreases the heat available to the heater core.
* Coolant System: Having air in the coolant system can reduce its efficiency. Water can absorb a lot more air from an engine block than air. The coolant lines can trap air in the engine block, making it impossible for the cooling system to heat up enough. Overheating can also be dangerous for the engine.
* Malfunctioning Heating Core The heater core, a miniature radiator made from aluminum or brass tubing, allows coolant drawn directly from the engine to circulate. Fans blow heat from the heater core into the cabin. This heat helps to keep it warm. The heater core can be prone to many problems, including clogged tubing and fan-blown heat not reaching the heater center. This critical component of the heating system must be maintained regularly.
* Thermostat Malfunctioning or Failed – A thermostat malfunction or failure can cause the heater to work intermittently, or even stop working altogether. The best thing to do in such situations is to replace your thermostat.
