How do I make my Savana 3500 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 do I get hot air from my Savana 3500 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?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Savana 3500’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does the A/C in my Savana 3500 rely on gas?

The air conditioning system in your Savana 3500 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.

Why does the A/C in my Savana 3500 smell like vinegar?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Savana 3500 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why won’t my Savana 3500’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?

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 3500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

GMC Savana 3500 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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my GMC Savana 3500?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know GMC vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2008 GMC A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your GMC Savana 3500

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2008 GMC Savana 3500 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your GMC Savana 3500 A/C system that can 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 Savana 3500

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2008 GMC Savana 3500, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per GMC guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2008 GMC Savana 3500 A/C recharges.

Other GMC Savana 3500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only GMC Savana 3500 A/C problem you may 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 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 2008 GMC Savana 3500? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Savana 3500’s A/C!
