Signs Your Car’s A/C or Heat Needs Service

From weak airflow to strange smells, your car has ways of letting you know the A/C or heat needs attention. Here are the most common warning signs to watch for

Warm Air from Vents

If your A/C is on but blowing warm or room-temperature air, it may be low on refrigerant, have a failing compressor, or suffer from a clogged expansion valve.

Weak or No Airflow

Minimal airflow typically points to a clogged cabin filter, failing blower motor, or blockage in the ductwork.

Heater Not Blowing Warm

Low coolant, a stuck thermostat, or a bad heater core may prevent your heater from warming the cabin.

Strange Smells or Fogging Windows

Musty odors often mean mold, while sweet smells suggest coolant leaks. Persistent fogging usually points to airflow or defrost issues.

Unusual Noises When A/C is On

Clicking, squealing, or rattling noises may indicate a worn compressor, loose belt, or blower motor debris.

A/C or Heat Only Works Sometimes

Intermittent function could be caused by faulty sensors, wiring damage, or a failing control module.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my car’s A/C not blowing cold air?

If your A/C isn’t blowing cold, it may be low on refrigerant, have a failing compressor, a clogged condenser, or an electrical issue.

What are the signs that my car’s heater is not working properly?

No warm air, sweet smells, coolant leaks, or a non-defrosting windshield all point to problems in the heater core or cooling system.

Can I drive with a broken A/C system?

Yes, but A/C also affects defrosting and can influence engine temperature regulation, so it’s best to have it repaired.

How often should car A/C systems be serviced?

It’s smart to check your A/C performance annually, especially before summer, to prevent system failure and catch leaks early.
