The heating and cooling systems in your car are connected, but they are two different systems that function separately. Regular maintenance is necessary to keep both systems in good working order and avoid developing major issues in the future. Proper maintenance can be the difference between a pleasant and comfortable ride or a stress-filled, unpleasant journey.
Your car's heating & cooling systems have many components, and it can be challenging to diagnose some malfunctions or performance issues. When you schedule a diagnostic inspection, our team of expert technicians will identify the problem and make recommendations to fix your heating or cooling issue.
Common Reasons For The Heating System Not to Work
Your car's heating system is responsible for keeping the inside of your vehicle warm, comfortable, and safe when the outside temperature is cold. The heating system involves several components, including the heater core, blower motor and fan, heater hoses, the heater control valve, the HVAC control panel on your dashboard, and the cabin air filter. The heating system utilizes heat from the engine to keep your vehicle's cabin warm.
Common reasons for heating system problems include:
1. Low coolant
2. Air in the coolant system
3. Malfunctioning heater core
4. Failed (or failing) thermostat
Common Issues With The A/C System
Your vehicle's air conditioning system keeps you cool and comfortable in hot and humid weather. A few of the main components involved with your cooling system include the compressor, condenser, receiver drier, expansion valve, evaporator, lines, refrigerant, and accumulator. Possible causes of a cooling system problem include:
1. Low Refrigerant
2. Clogged Or Leaking Condenser
3. Damaged Compressor
