A/C Service for Ford F-250 Super Duty

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Ford F-250 Super Duty?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Ford vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2012 Ford A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Ford F-250 Super Duty

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Ford F-250 Super Duty

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 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 Ford guidelines. 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 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C recharges.

Common Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your F-250 Super Duty — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty A/C Systems

  • How do I make my F-250 Super Duty 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 F-250 Super Duty A/C blowing hot air? 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 F-250 Super Duty's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my F-250 Super Duty use gas? F-250 Super Duty air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • Why does the A/C in my F-250 Super Duty smell like vinegar? 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 F-250 Super Duty to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my F-250 Super Duty’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 F-250 Super Duty is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
