A/C Service for Chevrolet HHR

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Chevrolet HHR A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2010 Chevrolet HHR A/C systems. Steer your Chevrolet HHR to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2010 Chevrolet HHR 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 Chevrolet HHR A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Chevrolet HHR

Let's say we repair your 2010 Chevrolet HHR 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 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 ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2010 Chevrolet HHR A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet HHR A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Chevrolet HHR A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2010 Chevrolet HHR? 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 HHR’s A/C!

Questions About 2010 Chevrolet HHR A/C Systems

  • How do I make my HHR 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.
  • What’s making my HHR A/C put out warm air? 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.
  • 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 HHR's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my HHR use gas? HHR air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What can cause the A/C in my HHR to smell like vinegar? 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 HHR to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my HHR’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 HHR’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
