Auto Air Conditioning & Heating Repair in Glenview, IL

Car air conditioning systems promote a comfortable cabin interior and help prevent driver fatigue. During normal vehicle operation, a substantial amount of heat is created by the engine and exterior contributors like the road & sun. Your vehicle’s AC system is responsible for cooling, purifying & circulating air.

Your air conditioning system works through a series of processes that involve refrigerant. In your vehicle, the refrigerant is responsible for removing heat from the cabin compartment. Refrigerant goes through a continuous cycle of air compression that is dependent on your compressor’s drive belt. The compressor pumps the refrigerant through the system where it is transformed from a hot gas into a liquid and then cooled. Through a number of other components, such as the condenser, compressor, and evaporator, the liquid is again processed into a gas, pressurized, and vaporized before being released into the cabin as cool air.

Air Conditioning System Repairs at Loyola Service in Glenview

Treating your vehicle’s air conditioning system early can help prevent major repairs later. An air conditioning system operating on low refrigerant due to a leak will eventually damage the compressor. Replacing or repairing the compressor can be more expensive than sealing the leak and refilling the refrigerant. Signs to beware of regarding a faulty air conditioning system include;

  • Inoperative fan or blower 
  • Unusual amount of noise during regular operation
  • Reduced cooling capability
  • Stale smelling air 

A clogged compressor, evaporator, condenser, or expansion valve can contribute to AC system failure. Routine maintenance now can help you avoid major AC repairs down the road.  Contact Loyola Service today to schedule your appointment.

Since the heating & cooling systems work in tandem, problems with the cooling system will affect the heating system. Low coolant levels can affect the heating system’s ability to warm your vehicle’s interior. Leaking coolant can be attributed to a damaged heater core, radiator, heater hose, or cooling system. Foul smells coming from the air vents are a sign of a coolant leak. Other common issues that plague heating system components include a vacuum leak, heater valve failure, fan motor failure or heater core failure. A common cause of breakdowns is overheating, but heating system maintenance can help prevent this from happening. Review your owner’s manual for recommended inspection intervals for your heating system components, and contact Loyola Service when your vehicle needs a heating system.
