Climate Control Systems

A climate control system requires routine maintenance for increased seasonal performance and operation. Multiple, smaller systems that work together comprise a vehicle's climate control system and maintain a comfortable cabin environment. The climate control system affects and regulates the internal temperature of a vehicle through a cycle of processes. Maintaining the ideal internal temperature with the climate control system is more than a matter of comfort, sometimes it is necessary. Maintaining the proper internal climate in severe weather conditions can actually factor into automotive safety. You should seek climate control repairs at the first sign of trouble to prevent further damage.​
If your vehicle's climate control system isn't working, you should schedule a climate control repair service. You can help ensure your safety as a driver, in addition to regaining the comfortable cabin environment you enjoyed prior to your system's problems. You may be able to prevent a broken system and subsequent safety concerns by paying attention to the warning signs of an impending climate control system service. Your owner’s manual should also provide recommended regular service intervals for climate control systems. By catching early warning signs and replacing or repairing climate control system components as necessary, you will help ensure your ability to control air outflow at all times.​

Air Conditioning System Diagnostic
Approximate Time:  60 Minutes
The air conditioning system in your vehicle cools, purifies and circulates the air to create a comfortable cabin environment and prevent driver fatigue. The air conditioning system is set up on a continuous cycle, sending refrigerant through a sealed system to remove hot air from the cabin compartment. As the refrigerant flows through the air conditioning system, it is turned from a gas into a liquid, which is then cooled, turned into a gas again, and vaporized in order to absorb heat from the cabin. The cabin is cooled by air blown in at the end of the cycle. The compressor, the main component of the air conditioning system, is driven by the drive belt, making the process possible. The compressor works with the condenser, evaporator, and other parts. The functionality of the entire system is at risk if any of these components cease to operate efficiently. Let us know if you notice your vehicle's air conditioning isn't working as well as it should be, and we'll diagnose and fix the problem.​

Driver fatigue can be prevented by having a car air conditioning system that promotes a comfortable cabin interior. A substantial amount of heat is created by the engine and exterior contributors like the road and sun during normal vehicle operation. The AC system in your vehicle is responsible for cooling, purifying, and circulating air. The refrigerant is what makes your air conditioning system work. The refrigerant in your vehicle is responsible for removing heat from the cabin compartment. The compressor's drive belt powers a continuous cycle of air compression for the refrigerant. The refrigerant is transformed from a hot gas into a liquid by the compressor pumping it through the system, where it is then cooled. The liquid is processed into a gas, pressurized, and vaporized through a number of other components, such as the condenser, compressor, and evaporator, before being released into the cabin as cool air.​

The coolant, a mixture of water and antifreeze, in your vehicle's heating system absorbs excess engine heat. The coolant is carried from the engine to the radiator by the hoses, where the heat is expelled outside. The heating system circulates the heated coolant to the heater core in the dashboard and directs the warm air into your vehicle’s interior compartment. The heater hoses carry the coolant from the engine to the heater core in this cycle, where the heat can finally warm the inside of your vehicle. The components of the heating system are the heater fan, water pump, thermostat, heater hoses, and heater core. The engine and vehicle cabin's internal temperatures are regulated by these components. The water pump is responsible for circulating the coolant to the engine block. Coolant flows from the cylinder heads to the heater core, and the heater fan directs the warm air outflow into the vehicle’s cabin. The coolant returns to the water pump to continue circulating once the heat has been transferred from the coolant into the vehicle. Our service staff will examine all working components to diagnose and identify the problem during a heating system service.​

The heating system in a vehicle transfers the engine's heat to the interior, whereas the cooling system removes heat from the engine. A mixture of water and antifreeze, coolant, absorbs excess engine heat. Some of the heat is expelled into the atmosphere by the radiator, which coolant is carried by the heater hoses from the engine. The water pump circulates the coolant through the engine, cooling system, and heating system. The coolant travels through the heater hoses to the heater core, located in your vehicle’s dashboard. The heater fan directs the rest of the warm air into the vehicle’s cabin. The coolant transfers heat into the vehicle, and then it returns to the water pump where it continues to circulate through the system. A number of components are shared by the heating and cooling systems, such as the radiator, thermostat, and water pump. Other heating system components include the blower motor, the heater control valve, the heater core, the heater fan, and the heater hoses. The engine and cabin compartment temperatures are regulated by these components working together.
