Is Your Car A/C or Heater Not Working? Here's Why

August 31, 2020

To maintain comfort while driving, you expect to be able to easily control the internal temperature of your vehicle. The HVAC in your vehicle allows you to initiate air conditioning or heating. If you ever notice a problem with your vehicle’s climate control system, don’t hesitate to bring your vehicle into the experts here at Stang Auto Tech in Broomfield, CO. Our ASE certified experts are experienced and can help with any HVAC system problem that you may be experiencing. We will perform diagnostics to determine the exact cause of the issue and repair your HVAC system back to top working condition. 


The HVAC system in your vehicle is very complex. Its job is to take air from outside of your vehicle, filter that air, and then either cool or heat it depending on the setting, and then transfers that air to the inside of your vehicle. If a problem with the A/C or heating occurs, you will notice right away that something is wrong. 


If you experience any of the following issues, there may be a problem with your vehicle’s HVAC system: 


  • Air is blowing out warm instead of cool
  • The temperature of air blowing out doesn’t match the setting
  • No air comes out of vents when heat or AC is turned on 
  • Strange noises when turned on
  • Unpleasant smells coming through vents


If you notice any of the symptoms listed above, there is likely a problem with the HVAC system. If you begin to notice anything, be sure to note down the symptoms and let our experts know when you come into our shop for an inspection. Letting us know what you are experiencing will help our experts accurately diagnose and repair your vehicle. 


Many issues with the HVAC system can be caused by a number of different things, including a leak, faulty pressure valves, bad compressor, clogged orifice tube, or low refrigerant. A problem with the heating system can also stem from a bad heater core, which can fail unexpectedly. 


If you’re experiencing an issue with your vehicle’s HVAC system, bring your vehicle to the experts at Stang Auto Tech for an inspection today. Give us a call or schedule an appointment online!

When you're heading off the pavement and into the dirt, rocks, or sand, one of the most important adjustments you can make to your vehicle is tire pressure. While highway tire pressure is optimized for fuel economy and tread life, off-road tire pressure serves a very different purpose. Knowing how and when to adjust it can improve traction, ride comfort, and overall control of your vehicle on rugged terrain.
