Interior Heating System Service

Interior Heating System Service at Stanley Auto Group

It can be hard to adapt to the cold conditions of winter, as you’re going to have to remember to put on more clothes when you head out, and you’ll have to take extra steps to protect your vehicle from frigid temperatures. If your heating system happens to go out during this time, riding in your car can feel miserable. We can help you make your cabin toasty again when you visit one of our Stanley Auto Group locations.

Fighting the Cold

There’s nothing worse than the bitter cold. When cold air enters your cabin, it can be incredibly distracting, and your hands might even begin to go numb. This can make it hard to drive as you won’t be able to feel the wheel as well, and if you’re shivering, you’ll have to focus on staying in your lane. Your heating system will usually solve this problem, but there’s a lot that can go wrong behind the scenes. Most people think that your car magically heats the air with some electric system in the same way a regular heater would, but this system is a bit more complex as it utilizes the heat that comes from your engine. To give a simplified explanation of how this system works, it takes the hot coolant from your radiator, which heats the air that passes through. Your heating system will then regulate that temperature so that you don’t get burned.

Check These Possible Issues

You could be experiencing a wide range of problems, but generally, you’ll want to:

• Check Your Coolant: If your coolant is running low, your heating system won’t be the only thing that’s affected. You’ll want to check your current supply.
• Check Your Parts: Parts will slowly wear away over time, so it’s not uncommon to have issues with your blower, your blend door, or your actuator. If your system isn’t delivering air, it’s probably due to one of these parts malfunctioning.
• Check Your Heater Core: When you don’t change your coolant frequently enough, there’s a chance that it corrodes your heater core. The more time your coolant spends in your vehicle, the more likely it is to pick up foreign contaminants.
• Check Your Thermostat: If your thermostat isn’t reading the temperature properly, it can cause mayhem in your heating system. Some cars will refuse to divert heat to your cabin if they think that the engine hasn’t gotten hot enough.
