A/C Repair Service for Your Subaru Ascent

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Subaru Ascent A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Subaru vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2019 Subaru A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Subaru Ascent

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2019 Subaru Ascent 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 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 Subaru Ascent A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Ascent A/C Recharge

While your 2019 Subaru Ascent’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Subaru’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2019 Subaru Ascent A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Subaru Ascent A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Subaru Ascent A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2019 Subaru Ascent? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Ascent.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2019 Subaru Ascent A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Ascent air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Ascent A/C? 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 causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Ascent’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 running the A/C in my Ascent use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Ascent 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 Ascent’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 Ascent to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my Ascent’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Ascent may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
