We’ve got experience with Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1989 Chevrolet A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Chevrolet R1500 Suburban

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1989 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban 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 R1500 Suburban A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Chevrolet R1500 Suburban

While your 1989 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban’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 use Chevrolet’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1989 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Chevrolet R1500 Suburban A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Chevrolet R1500 Suburban A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. 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. 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 1989 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 R1500 Suburban’s A/C!

1989 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my R1500 Suburban air conditioning colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my R1500 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 can cause an A/C system 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 R1500 Suburban’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my R1500 Suburban A/C powered by gas? Your R1500 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 R1500 Suburban’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your R1500 Suburban creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my R1500 Suburban’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your R1500 Suburban’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
