A/C Repair Service for Your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

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. “Who can fix my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Chevrolet A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Silverado 2500 HD A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Chevrolet’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C recharges.

Other Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Silverado 2500 HD — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Silverado 2500 HD air conditioner 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 Silverado 2500 HD 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 Silverado 2500 HD's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Silverado 2500 HD use gasoline? Your Silverado 2500 HD’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.
  • Why does the A/C in my Silverado 2500 HD smell like vinegar? 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 Silverado 2500 HD creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Silverado 2500 HD’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Silverado 2500 HD is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
