How Does the Heating System Work?
In vehicles with a combustion engine, the heating system that warms your cabin is fairly straightforward. As soon as you turn it on during a trip to Rocky Ridge Park, the radiator beneath the hood starts drawing energy from the motor. This allows heat to build up within the system, which is then forced through the HVAC vents in your Buick Encore GX or GMC Acadia. Thanks to the powerful fans in the system, you’ll feel a warm breeze that keeps you from experiencing the chill of winter! If the radiator requires coolant, it won’t be able to attract as much heat, meaning it is not going to function properly. For that reason, visit us soon if you are having heating problems.
How Does the Cooling System Work?
When it comes to cooling your cabin down, most modern cars have an air conditioning system that helps ward off summer temperatures. Coolant is first cycled through a series of coils to draw in heat and expel it away from the heart of your vehicle. Then, the cold air that is created will be pushed into your car via the aforementioned ventilation system. Faulty fans can cause poor airflow, as can a clogged cabin air filter. Both the heating and cooling features require power from the battery to operate at full capacity, so be sure that this unit is in good working condition before heading to Reservoir Park. Contact us if your car is unable to cool down!
Timeline
While the various parts of the ventilation system require service at different intervals, it’s important to have us perform an inspection every year or so. That way, we can catch problems before they become too severe. Getting a coolant flush every 30,000 miles can improve the functionality of your radiator and other HVAC parts. Furthermore, you should have our team members swap out the cabin air filter every 15,000 miles to ensure that clean oxygen is entering your vehicle. Always double-check your Owner’s Manual to see what the manufacturer recommends. Reach out to our technicians for more information about this type of service.
