Heating System Free Check
No heat?
Don’t wait! We’ll inspect your vehicle’s heating and defrost system for free —Inspect heater core, blower motor, temperature controls, coolant level, and hoses. Verify proper heat output and defrost function. Advise customer if repairs or maintenance are needed.
For limited time only!
Let’s explore the difference between your car’s air conditioner (A/C) and heater:
- A/C System:
- The A/C system uses refrigerant to remove heat from the cabin.
- Compressor: The engine-driven compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, which then flows through the system.
- Evaporator: The evaporator cools the air by absorbing heat from it.
- Blower Fan: The blower fan circulates the cooled air into the cabin.
- Purpose: The A/C keeps you cool during hot weather by removing heat from the interior.
- Heating System:
- The heater uses hot engine coolant flowing through its core to warm your car’s interior.
- Heater Core: The heater core is like a small radiator. Hot coolant passes through it, and the blower fan blows air over it.
- Blower Fan: The same blower fan used for A/C also blows air over the heated coolant.
- Purpose: The heater keeps you warm during cold weather by using the engine’s heat.
- Common Connection:
- The air management system connects both cooling (A/C) and heating (heater) systems.
- The heater is more critical because it’s linked to the engine via the coolant.
In summary, the A/C removes heat using refrigerant, while the heater warms your car’s interior using hot engine coolant. Both systems work together to maintain a comfortable cabin temperature.
