Is the air conditioner or heater in your vehicle not working? If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms there may be an issue with your HVAC system:
· Low airflow or inconsistent temperatures
· Fogging on the windshield during defrosting
· Growling, squealing, or grinding noise during A/C or heater operation
· Engine overheating
The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning System in your vehicle is a complicated system made up of several essential components.
Contains refrigerant pump and control valves for A/C pressure
Helps transfer heat from the passenger compartment to under the hood
Removes heat from the radiator and condenser processes
Responsible for storing refrigerant and removing moisture
Moves air through evaporator and heater core
Controls pressure differentials, which helps refrigerant reduce heat from the passenger compartment
Assists in moving heat from passenger department to condenser
Substance that can be condensed and vaporized in certain temperatures
Heater Components
Helps transfer heat from the coolant to the outside of the vehicle

Helps move air from inside of the vehicle to evaporator and heater core

Having a properly functioning HVAC system is not only important for the comfort of you and your family, but also for your safety.
