How do I make my Express 1500 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 Express 1500 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.

What can cause an A/C system 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 Express 1500's A/C system.

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?

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 Express 1500 to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Express 1500’s A/C to work?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Express 1500’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

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 it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Chevrolet vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Chevrolet Express 1500

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Chevrolet Express 1500 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.

Express 1500 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500, 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 Chevrolet guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2008 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 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Express 1500.
