Air Conditioning and Heating
1. Antibacterial Treatment
Over time, your vehicle’s air conditioning system can become a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and other contaminants, which can cause unpleasant odors and affect the air quality inside your car. Antibacterial treatments are designed to eliminate these harmful organisms, ensuring the air you breathe is clean and healthy.
At All Nicks Collision Calgary, we provide thorough antibacterial treatments for your air conditioning system. Our technicians use specialized cleaning agents to disinfect the system, targeting areas like the evaporator, vents, and cabin filters. This service helps eliminate odors, improves air quality, and can even extend the lifespan of your AC components.
Benefits of Antibacterial Treatment:
- Eliminates bacteria, mold, and allergens
- Removes unpleasant odors from the cabin
- Improves air quality and overall driving comfort
2. Replacing the Evaporator
The evaporator is a critical component of the air conditioning system, responsible for absorbing heat from the cabin air and providing cool air to the interior. Over time, evaporators can develop leaks, clogs, or other issues, reducing the AC system’s efficiency and even causing it to fail completely.
At All Nicks Collision Calgary, our skilled technicians specialize in evaporator replacements. We begin with a thorough diagnosis to ensure the evaporator is the source of the issue. Once confirmed, we remove the damaged component and install a new, high-quality evaporator, restoring your vehicle’s cooling performance.
Signs You Might Need Evaporator Replacement:
- Weak or no airflow from the AC vents
- Unpleasant odors when using the AC
- AC system not cooling the cabin effectively
3. Compressor Replacement
The compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pumping refrigerant through the system to cool the air. A malfunctioning or failing compressor can lead to a complete breakdown of your AC system, making it impossible to cool your vehicle. Common causes of compressor failure include leaks, electrical issues, or worn-out components.
At All Nicks Collision Calgary, we offer expert compressor replacement services to get your AC system back up and running. Our technicians will diagnose the problem, remove the faulty compressor, and install a new one that matches your vehicle’s specifications. We also perform a full system check to ensure everything is functioning properly after the replacement.
Signs You Might Need Compressor Replacement:
- AC is blowing warm air
- Strange noises when the AC is running
- AC system won’t turn on
4. Replacing the Cooling Radiator
The cooling radiator in your vehicle’s HVAC system helps regulate the temperature of the engine and the air conditioning system by dissipating heat from the refrigerant. If the radiator becomes clogged, corroded, or damaged, it can lead to overheating, reduced cooling efficiency, and even engine damage.
At All Nicks Collision Calgary, we provide professional cooling radiator replacement services to ensure your vehicle stays cool under the hood. Our technicians will remove the old radiator, flush the cooling system to eliminate any debris, and install a new radiator. This not only restores your vehicle’s cooling efficiency but also prevents potential engine damage.
Signs You Might Need Cooling Radiator Replacement:
- Overheating engine or AC system
- Leaking coolant
- Reduced cooling performance
5. AC Recharge
An AC recharge is a common maintenance procedure that involves replenishing the refrigerant in your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Over time, refrigerant levels can decrease due to small leaks or natural depletion, causing the AC to blow warm or weak air.
At All Nicks Collision Calgary, we offer professional AC recharge services to restore your vehicle’s cooling efficiency. Our technicians will first inspect the system for any leaks or damage, then refill the refrigerant to the manufacturer’s specifications. After the recharge, we test the system to ensure it’s cooling properly.
Signs You Might Need an AC Recharge:
- AC blowing warm air
- Weak airflow from vents
- Refrigerant warning light is on (in some vehicles)
6. Heater Core Replacement
The heater core is responsible for providing heat to the cabin by transferring heat from the engine coolant to the air. A malfunctioning heater core can lead to a lack of heat inside the vehicle, fogging windows, or even coolant leaks inside the cabin, making driving uncomfortable and potentially hazardous.
At All Nicks Collision Calgary, we offer comprehensive heater core replacement services to restore your vehicle’s heating system. Our experienced technicians will diagnose the issue, remove the faulty heater core, and install a new, high-quality component. After the replacement, we’ll test the system to ensure your vehicle heats up quickly and efficiently.
Signs You Might Need Heater Core Replacement:
- No heat in the cabin
- Sweet smell (coolant) inside the vehicle
- Fogging or moisture on the windows
