A/C & Heating Service
Air conditioning, heater and defroster diagnosis and repair to keep you comfortable and your windows clear.
Your climate control system does more than keep you comfortable. The defroster relies on it to keep your windshield clear in wet Pacific Northwest weather.
We diagnose A/C and heating problems on all makes and models, from refrigerant leaks to blower motors and blend doors.
Signs your A/C or heat needs service
- The A/C blows warm or only slightly cool air
- Weak airflow from the vents
- The heater takes a long time to warm up, or stays cold
- Windows fog up and are slow to clear
- Musty or unusual odors from the vents
- Clicking or rattling noises when the system runs
What’s included
- A/C performance test
- Refrigerant leak diagnosis
- Refrigerant recovery and recharge to specification
- Compressor, condenser and blower motor diagnosis
- Heater core, thermostat and blend door checks
- Cabin air filter inspection
What will it cost?
Pricing depends on your vehicle and what we find. We’ll inspect, explain the options and give you an estimate before any work begins. No work is done without your approval.
What happens during your visit
Test
We measure vent temperatures and system pressures to evaluate performance.
Locate
If refrigerant is low, we look for the leak instead of just topping it off.
Explain
You get our findings and an estimate before any repair.
Repair & recharge
We complete the repair and recharge the system to specification.
Why not just recharge the A/C?
A/C systems are sealed, so low refrigerant usually means there’s a leak. Recharging without fixing the leak often means the cooling won’t last.
Why does my car smell musty when the fan is on?
Moisture in the system and a dirty cabin air filter are common causes. Replacing the filter is often a good first step.
My heater works but my windows still fog. Why?
The A/C helps dry the air for defrosting. A weak A/C system, a clogged cabin filter or coolant issues can all reduce defrost performance.
