How do I make my Escalade ESV air conditioning colder?

For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why is my Escalade ESV A/C blowing hot air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

What causes A/C system leaks?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Escalade ESV’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does the A/C in my Escalade ESV use gas?

The air conditioning system in your Escalade ESV does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.

Why does my Escalade ESV have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Escalade ESV to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my Escalade ESV’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Escalade ESV’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Steer your Cadillac Escalade ESV to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2013 Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Escalade ESV A/C Recharge

While your 2013 Cadillac Escalade ESV’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Cadillac guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2013 Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2013 Cadillac Escalade ESV? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Escalade ESV.
