How do I make my Savana 2500 air conditioning 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 Savana 2500 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.

What can cause an A/C system leak?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Savana 2500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my Savana 2500 A/C use gas?

Savana 2500 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.

My Savana 2500’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 Savana 2500 to produce a vinegary odor.

What is causing my Savana 2500’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 Savana 2500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

GMC Savana 2500 A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my GMC Savana 2500?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know GMC vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2021 GMC A/C systems. Steer your GMC Savana 2500 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2021 GMC Savana 2500’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your GMC Savana 2500 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.

Recharge the A/C in Your Savana 2500

Let's say we repair your 2021 GMC Savana 2500 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 GMC’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 know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2021 GMC Savana 2500 A/C recharges.

Common GMC Savana 2500 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential GMC Savana 2500 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 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 2021 GMC Savana 2500? 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 Savana 2500 — without all the sweat puddles!
