Caring for Your AC System with Chevy Service

2022 Chevy Spark Interior

We know that local drivers have plenty of Cheshire car dealerships to choose from, which is why we make our convenient location a one-stop shop for all your automotive needs, including AC service. If it’s been a while since your air conditioning received some attention from a professional, we encourage you to schedule Chevy service with us now.

Is Your Air Conditioning in Trouble? 

When you visit our Chevy OEM parts center, we’ll tell you that some car parts, like batteries, rarely give any indication that they’re about to fail. Fortunately, that’s not the case with your AC system.

Depending on what the underlying cause is, your system may exhibit certain signs that it’s experiencing problems, such as:

  • Blowing tepid or hot air
  • Circulating air that doesn’t have a consistent temperature
  • Dripping water onto the carpeting under the air vents
  • Making odd noises
  • Failing to blow any air out of the vents

Having been Chevrolet dealers in CT for a while, we strongly urge you to bring your vehicle to our Chevy service center whenever you notice one of the warning signs just mentioned. If you don’t, you run the risk of a minor issue morphing into a larger problem that will likely be more expensive to fix.

What You Can Do on Your Own 

In addition to keeping your senses engaged to detect an issue with your AC, you can do a few other things to take care of your system. For starters, you can schedule an inspection of the system every two years.

Even if you drive one of the latest Chevy models, you should still prioritize AC inspections so potential problems like small fluid leaks can be caught and remedied early.

Here are some additional things you can do to keep your air conditioning healthy:

  • Use the system to remove humidity from the cabin and fog from the windshield during colder months
  • Run your AC for 10 minutes at least once per week even when it’s chilly outside
  • Engage the defrost mode for 5 – 10 minutes to remove any moisture that might produce unpleasant smells

Would you like to learn more about the things you can do to maintain your air conditioning or does your system need the attention of a professional? In either case, we invite you to contact our Wallingford, CT Chevy dealership or visit Executive Chevrolet. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
