Consider how you control the flow of cooled and heated air in your home. You turn on the furnace or the air conditioner, depending on the time of year, and your home’s HVAC system takes care of the rest. Your car’s heating and cooling system, which includes the defroster and the air conditioner, operates similarly, but the stakes are higher if the system fails. Why? If the system fails, the defroster cannot control condensation in your vehicle and pull the moisture from the car. Foggy windows might not be a big deal in your home, but while driving, windows that are fogged with condensation can keep you from seeing clearly to safely operate your vehicle.
Your vehicle’s heating and cooling system relies on permanent coolant, which you may refer to as antifreeze, to operate. Permanent coolant has a higher boiling point than water and helps protect your vehicle from overheating. The coolant also contains lubricants and anticorrosion properties that prevent chemical reactions from occurring in your engine. Rad Air offers a variety of services to maintain and repair your heating and cooling system. We help maintain your engine with regular fluid exchanges. If the coolant in your system has become contaminated, we will perform a cooling system flush and refill. Every time you have a Lube, Oil, and Filter change, you should have your car’s heating and cooling system inspected. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, we generally recommend having the entire system serviced every 30,000 to 50,000 miles—or 3 to 5 years—or as needed.
The team at Rad Air Fairlawn will inspect your vehicle’s heating and cooling system, checking for proper cooling, heating, airflow, belt condition, coolant level and condition, cabin airflow, and many more items specific to your vehicle’s make and model. A critical part of evaluating your system is checking mode operation: heating, defrosting, ventilation, air conditioning, bi–level, and recirculation. When we find any issue with any component, our technicians will resolve the problem with high–quality repairs. Count on us to keep your system performing optimally, keeping you safe and comfortable on the road.
