Heating and Air Conditioning

Why maintaining your AC System is very important:
Heating and A/C systems may break eventually with usage, hose pipes may clog and drip if not serviced, causing reduced efficiency heating and cooling capabilities. Regular maintenance will keep your AC system operating at peak performance!

Indications your A/C system may be having issues:

Air that blows in smells damp, musty, or like mildew and mold

Your cabin does not warm up in cold weather, or is just a little warmer than outside

The defroster takes longer than typical to operate, or does not operate

Your heater or A/C only functions when driving, not when idling, or quits blowing when the car is stationary

Your heating system blows cold air, or the air conditioning blows warm air

Low airflow even at the highest fan setting.

A comprehensive evaluation of heating and A/C system includes:

Checking radiator coolant operating temperature, hoses, pressure radiator cap and thermostat

Inspecting the compressor belt

Inspecting system and seals for leaks or various other damages.

A cooling system pressure test

Verifying the A/C pressure meets manufacturer specifications

Measuring the interior vent air temperature

Belts
A fan belt, also known as a drive belt, is a belt connecting your car’s engine to the front mounted accessories. The fan belt rotates the water pump and engine fan, which maintains a cool environment for the engine and its components. Sooner or later, your vehicle’s fan belts will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on Gilmour’s Automotive Repair for all your vehicle’s repair needs.

You not only have to get the belts replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts.

The mechanics at Gilmour’s Automotive Repair will thoroughly inspect your car’s belts; replace all worn belts; and adjust the installed belts.

Radiators
Radiators are heat exchangers for cooling your car’s internal combustion engine. A radiator cools the engine by circulating an engine coolant through the engine block – it then loses the heat to the atmosphere through radiation. A radiator has a set of tubes through which the engine coolant flows. Fins surround these tubes. When the radiator fails, the excess heat produced by the engine could damage the engine components. To prevent this from happening, have your radiator serviced regularly. To have your radiator needs handled by experts, visit Gilmour’s Automotive Repair today.
