A/C Service for Cadillac Escalade EXT

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2011 Cadillac. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac Escalade EXT

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Escalade EXT

Let's say we repair your 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Cadillac’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C recharges.

Other Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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 EXT.

Questions About 2011 Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Escalade EXT air conditioning colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Escalade EXT A/C blowing hot air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Escalade EXT's A/C system.
  • Is my Escalade EXT A/C powered by gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Escalade EXT.
  • Why does my Escalade EXT have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Escalade EXT to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Escalade EXT’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Escalade EXT is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
