Akron Car Heating and Cooling

Think of how you heat and cool your home: Your HVAC system—which includes heating, ventilation, and air conditioning—moves heated and cooled air throughout your house. Your vehicle’s heating and cooling system, including your air conditioner and defroster, performs a similar function. However, your car’s system is even more sophisticated, and the stakes are higher when it does not perform. For example, your car’s air conditioner runs on defrost mode as long as it is above freezing outside and pulls moisture from the car. If it fails, your car’s windows will fog—leaving you vulnerable to an accident on the road due to poor visibility. 

Your car’s heating and cooling system relies on permanent coolant—commonly referred to as antifreeze—to operate. Because it has a higher boiling point than water, permanent coolant helps keep your vehicle from overheating. It also contains lubricants and anticorrosion properties that help protect against chemical reactions in your engine. We help maintain your engine with regular fluid exchanges and can perform a cooling system flush and refill to repair a contaminated cooling system. Our recommendation is to have your car’s heating and cooling system inspected during every Lube, Oil, and Filter change. We also recommend that your car’s heating and cooling system be serviced every 30,000 to 50,000 miles—or 3 to 5 years—or as needed.

The team at Rad Air Akron is here to help keep all of the components of your car’s heating and cooling system, including the air conditioner and defroster, running optimally. Make your appointment for services today.
