A/C Service for Chevrolet Express 1500

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Chevrolet Express 1500?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2006 Chevrolet. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Chevrolet Express 1500

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2006 Chevrolet Express 1500’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Chevrolet Express 1500

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2006 Chevrolet Express 1500, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Chevrolet’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, 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 2006 Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2006 Chevrolet Express 1500? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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 Express 1500’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2006 Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Express 1500 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 do I get hot air from my Express 1500 A/C? 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? 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 Express 1500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Express 1500 A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Express 1500 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.
  • My Express 1500’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Express 1500 smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Express 1500’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Express 1500 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
