Auto Air Conditioning/Heating

Air conditioning and heating system service at Ken’s Auto includes maintenance and repairs as needed for all components so you are always ready for the summer heat and the winter cold. Regular maintenance prevents damage that could occur from a faulty part and also ensures your vehicle is running safely and efficiently, as these systems rely on the same coolant (water and antifreeze) that keeps your engine cool.

Auto AC Service

The AC in your car uses a compressor, condenser, and a series of hoses and valves, taking coolant in the radiator and then moving cooled air through these parts to remove the moisture and provide cool dry air inside your vehicle. The most common air conditioning problems tend to be blockages and leaks in the tubes, valves, and filters, but maintaining all components protects the entire system.

Your AC service includes:

• Check compressor for leaks
• Check/replace drive belt
• Inspect lines, hoses and seals for leaks or cracks
• Clean clogged or dirty condenser coils
• Overall check of operation
• Replace coolant
• Recharge and test AC

Auto Heating Service

Your heating system draws coolant from the radiator and pushes it through a heater core to create heat. A blower fan sends the heat into your vehicle while a thermostat ensures the temperature stays consistent. This same system blows heated air onto your windshield to defrost it on cold days.

Your Heating service includes:

• Inspect/adjust the blower fan and blower motor
• Inspect wiring for cracks, wear
• Check heater core for dirt and blockages
• Check hoses for leaks
• Check coolant and water pump
• Test thermostat

Timely repairs will lengthen the life of your air conditioning and heating systems, so regular inspections to maintain coolant levels and catch problems early are critical.

Call Ken’s Auto for an inspection of your heating or air conditioning if you notice any of the following:

• The air in your vehicle is not as cool or as warm as it should be, or it takes an unusually long time for the air to cool or warm.
• The air flow is weak or there is no air coming from the vents.
• You smell a musty odor or a fruity smell that could indicate a coolant leak.
• The windows are fogging up, especially during cold weather.
• The AC makes noise when running.
• The car overheats.
• Water pools on the floor when you run the AC
