Your comfort is important to us, which is why we take heating and A/C problems just as seriously as  engine or transmission issues. Simply bring your car to Whip’s Automotive, and we will get your heat or A/C back up and running in no time.

A/C and Heating Problems We Repair

Surprisingly, there are many different ways a relatively simple system such as your car’s HVAC may malfunction. At Whip’s Automotive, we diagnose and repair them all:

• Car heating or cooling not working
• Car heater blowing cold air
• Car A/C not cool enough
• Musty odor when the A/C is on

If you’ve experienced any of these problems, you know how unpleasant, and even dangerous, time spent in your vehicle can become when heat or A/C are not working properly.

Causes of Heat and A/C Failure in Cars

There are numerous things that can wear, fail or simply go wrong when you are trying to operate your vehicle’s heating or cooling system. Most of the time, cooling issues can be tracked down to one or several of these malfunctions:

• Mold or mildew accumulation in the evaporator
• Loose or leaking hoses
• Failed fan
• Failed seals and vacuum leaks
• Failed condenser, evaporator or blower motor
• Clogged expansion valve
• Failed switches, fuses and relays
• Refrigerant leaks

Heating issues are often caused by:

• Low antifreeze level
• Contaminated coolant
• Thermostat failure
• Blower fan failure

Air Conditioner Service

Air conditioning service is recommended to be performed seasonally in order to keep your A/C system free of the above issues. This service includes an A/C performance test, system pressure check, condenser and radiator cooling fan operation check, inspection of all A/C components for wear, leaks and proper operation. At the end, refrigerant is evacuated and recharged.

RADIATOR REPAIR AND COOLING SYSTEM

The car radiator is responsible for preventing the car engine from overheating. When the engine is in use, it produces a lot of friction and heat, and the radiator uses coolants to keep the engine running at a healthy temperature.

Proper cooling system maintenance is an essential part of keeping your car running smoothly. Regular maintenance should involve replacing the antifreeze that circulates through your vehicle’s engine. This prevents corrosion and helps your car maintain an optimal engine temperature regardless of outside temperatures. At Whip’s Automotive, we make it easy and affordable to keep your car’s cooling system operating smoothly and effectively.
