Car AC Not Working? Visit Your GMC Dealer Today

Car AC not working? Then you should schedule service at a GMC dealer as soon as possible. Climate control is one of the comfort and convenience features of your vehicle, so it can feel like a major inconvenience when your AC isn’t working. The faster you schedule service, the more comfortable you will be.

If you’re getting hot air or no air when you flip on the AC, it’s definitely time to visit your dealership’s service department. Your dealership will have the specific air compressor and fluids to repair your AC in no time. Some other warning signs of a failing AC include:

If the output from your vehicle’s AC unit is weak, then there might be a problem with your vehicle’s air vents. There are a few reasons your air vents can be obstructed, such as a broken ventilation fan, loose blower hose, or mildewed evaporator core. Sometimes, loose core case seals on your blower hose or evaporator core can also cause poor airflow.

If you notice moisture or leaks inside the cabin of your vehicle, your blower hose may be clogged. You may also notice leaking refrigerant outside your vehicle. Bad odors from your AC unit are another sign you need service since bad odors are a sign of a dirty AC cabin air filter.

Temperature changes when you turn on your AC is another major sign that you need AC repair. If your climate control suddenly isn’t as cold as it usually is, even when you turn the AC all the way up, then the refrigerant in your vehicle may be running low. If your AC is running cold for a while and then abruptly switches to blowing out warm air, this may be caused by a damaged compressor clutch or a clogged expansion valve.

Most drivers assume that the climate control system in their vehicle is a singular unit. However, the AC compressor that moderates the air conditioning unit and the heater core that works with the heater are separate systems. If your AC is broken, you will usually still be able to use the heater in your car.

However, a broken AC can make your heating system and your car work harder, which is why it’s still a good idea to have the AC repaired as soon as possible, even if you aren’t using the AC at the moment.

If you want to enjoy the climate control feature of your GMC, it’s best to schedule AC service as soon as you notice an issue. Get in touch with Mansfield GMC to learn more about the repair process today.
