A/C Service for Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2017 Chevrolet. Steer your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, we’ll also do 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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Silverado 3500 HD.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Silverado 3500 HD air conditioner 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Silverado 3500 HD A/C? 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? 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 3500 HD's A/C system.
  • Is my Silverado 3500 HD A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Silverado 3500 HD does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Silverado 3500 HD smells like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Silverado 3500 HD to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Silverado 3500 HD’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Silverado 3500 HD may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my Silverado 3500 HD’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Silverado 3500 HD air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
