Car Heater Repair
Your car’s heating system is essential for your comfort in the colder months we experience in Layton, Utah. If you notice reduced airflow from your heater or the air is not heating up, bring it to Shadetree Automotive for car heater repair.
How Does a Car Heater Work?
Your car’s heating system works by using the engine’s heat to warm the air that gets pushed into the cabin. This is why your car heater may not be as warm when you immediately turn on the vehicle; the engine has not warmed up yet. The heat from the engine is moved to the radiator, where coolant is housed. The coolant then moves to the heater core, which is the last stop before the blower motor blows the heated air into your vehicle. This system can help keep you warm on the coldest of days.
Common Causes of a Broken Car Heater
It is quite inconvenient when your car’s heater breaks, especially if it is during the colder months of the year. By understanding how the heater works, it can be easier to figure out what is causing your broken car heater.
Faulty heater core
If there is a leak or the heater core gets clogged, it can prevent heat from transferring properly.
Thermostat problems
If the thermostat is not working properly, it can affect the flow of coolant, which can cause poor heating or even engine overheating.
Blower motor failure
If the blower motor is broken, the heated air can not be pushed into the cabin. Even if the heater core is working properly and heating the air, the blower motor is responsible for moving the heated air through the vents.
Coolant leaks
If you notice a coolant leak (usually bright in color, be it blue, orange, yellow, pink, or green), it is important to bring your car in for an inspection. Low coolant levels can prevent your heater from working and can cause bigger problems for your engine.
