A/C Service for Chevrolet K1500 Suburban

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Chevrolet K1500 Suburban?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1997 Chevrolet A/C systems. Steer your Chevrolet K1500 Suburban to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Chevrolet K1500 Suburban 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 K1500 Suburban

Let's say we repair your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban A/C system. We will also perform 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Chevrolet's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban A/C recharges.

Other Chevrolet K1500 Suburban A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Chevrolet K1500 Suburban 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban? 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 K1500 Suburban.

Questions About 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban A/C Systems

  • How do I make my K1500 Suburban 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.
  • Why is my K1500 Suburban 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 causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your K1500 Suburban’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 running the A/C in my K1500 Suburban use gasoline? Your K1500 Suburban’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 K1500 Suburban’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 K1500 Suburban to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my K1500 Suburban’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your K1500 Suburban may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
