Heater System Repairs

Your vehicle’s heater system is one of the most important components in your vehicle, especially if you live in the Northeast like we do!

There is nothing worse than getting into an icy, cold car and having no heat to warm you up. When this happens, it typically means that something failing in your vehicle’s HVAC system. Failures can include things like: low coolant, a bad heater core, a failing blower motor, a failing controller, or even a failing or broken thermostat.

Unfortunately there is no universal schedule to service your vehicles heating system. Components like your thermostat can be replaced on a set internal that can be found in your owners manual.

Other components mentioned above are typically serviced when they show signs of a failure.

Most obviously your heat may no longer work, or it will work poorly. Since your heater system is tied to the vehicle’s coolant system, it could also cause damage to your engine, or other components within the vehicle as well.

Your heater core is a small, radiator-like device that usually sits behind your dashboard vents. Coolant enters the core, takes in heat, and then exits to warm up the air being blown into your cabin. When the coolant entering the heater core is low, often as a result of a leak, or is the system is clogged, you will get cold air blowing from you vents. You may also smell a sweet smell in your cabin or your windows may often fog up on the inside of your vehicle.
