A/C Repair Service for Your Chevrolet Suburban 1500

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. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Chevrolet Suburban 1500?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2005 Chevrolet A/C systems. Bring your Chevrolet Suburban 1500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500’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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 Suburban 1500

Let's say we repair your 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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. 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 good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C problem you may 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500? 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 trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Suburban 1500’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Suburban 1500 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 do I get hot air from my Suburban 1500 A/C? 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 Suburban 1500's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Suburban 1500 use gasoline? Your Suburban 1500’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 Suburban 1500’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 Suburban 1500 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Suburban 1500’s A/C only work when the car is moving? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Suburban 1500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
