3 Signs Your Car’s Heater or A/C is Failing
Sometimes it’s obvious that you should schedule an appointment, like if you’ve turned your car’s A/C on but it still feels like a sauna in your vehicle. Or if you turned your car’s heater on ten minutes ago and you’re still shivering. Other times, the warning signs might not be so clear. So, when should you book an appointment?
1. A/C and Heater: Strange Smell Coming from the Vents
- Musty air smell coming from the air vents when cooling or heating
- Tip: That bad smell could means it’s time for a fresh cabin air filter to eliminate odors and bacteria from circulating in your vehicle
2. A/C: You Can’t Feel Any Air Blowing in Your Vehicle
- Your A/C takes a very long time to circulate cold air
- A/C barely circulates air and when it does the air is warm
3. Heater: Leaking Antifreeze
- Your antifreeze levels are consistently low
- You notice a leak near your radiator or puddled around your vehicle

How Does My Car’s Air Conditioning Work?
Surprisingly your car’s air conditioning system doesn’t push out cool air, it works by removing heat and humidity to control the temperature in the cabin of your vehicle. Then all that remains is refreshing, cool air. Your A/C does this by cycling refrigerant to absorb the heat. And as you’ve probably noticed on hot summer days, you need to have the car’s engine running because it uses fuel to power the vehicle’s A/C.

Why Is My Car Overheating?
Have you noticed that your car A/C is blowing hot air? Many parts of your car rely on consistent temperature management, and when that goes awry your car will overheat. Overheating can be caused by anything from a cooling system failure, radiator problems or bad thermostat to parts malfunctions like bad hoses, low oil, or failing water pumps. At Tires Plus, we can help diagnose why your car is overheating.

How Much Does A/C or Heating Repair Cost?
Like all car repairs, A/C and heating service can range in cost. Smaller fixes including inspections, coolant exchanges, or repairing leaks can cost somewhere in the lower hundreds but you should expect larger expenses like a car A/C compressor replacement cost to be higher. At Tires Plus we recommend you ask one of our auto technicians for a quote to get an accurate cost estimate for heating or car A/C repair near you.
