How do I make my Express 2500 air conditioning colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

What’s making my Express 2500 A/C put out warm 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.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Express 2500’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does the A/C in my Express 2500 rely on gas?

Your Express 2500’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

My Express 2500’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 Express 2500 to produce a vinegary odor.

Why won’t my Express 2500’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Express 2500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

A/C Repair Service for Your Chevrolet Express 2500

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. 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 2500?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2013 Chevrolet A/C systems. Bring your Chevrolet Express 2500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2013 Chevrolet Express 2500 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 we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Chevrolet Express 2500 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Express 2500

While your 2013 Chevrolet Express 2500’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 Chevrolet guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2013 Chevrolet Express 2500 A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Express 2500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Chevrolet Express 2500 A/C problem you may 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. And smelly A/C in a 2013 Chevrolet Express 2500? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Express 2500.
