Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C Repair

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C systems. Bring your Chevrolet Suburban 1500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 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 Suburban 1500 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Suburban 1500

While your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 1500’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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Chevrolet guidelines. 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 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 1500? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Suburban 1500’s A/C!

Questions About 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Suburban 1500 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 Suburban 1500 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 Suburban 1500's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my Suburban 1500 rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Suburban 1500 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.
  • My Suburban 1500’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 Suburban 1500 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Suburban 1500’s A/C only work when the car is moving? Damaged or worn components in your Suburban 1500’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I get my Suburban 1500’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Suburban 1500 air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
