A/C Service for Chevrolet Avalanche

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 lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Chevrolet Avalanche A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Chevrolet vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2011 Chevrolet. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Chevrolet Avalanche

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Chevrolet Avalanche A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Avalanche A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche, we’ll also do 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 Chevrolet’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Avalanche A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Chevrolet Avalanche A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Avalanche’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Avalanche air conditioner 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 Avalanche A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? 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 Avalanche's A/C system.
  • Is my Avalanche A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Avalanche 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.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Avalanche smells like vinegar? 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 Avalanche to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Avalanche’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 Avalanche’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
