From full HVAC diagnostics to A/C recharges and heater core replacements, our certified technicians make sure your system performs like it should in every season.

The Importance of Maintaining Your A/C and Heater Systems

A working A/C system keeps you cool and alert behind the wheel, while a reliable heater ensures defrosting, visibility, and comfort during cold months. These systems often share components like blower motors and air filters, so staying on top of maintenance helps prevent bigger issues down the road.

At Elite Diesel, we don’t just recharge refrigerant and send you on your way. We take the time to inspect, diagnose, and explain the issue, whether it’s a faulty compressor, a bad actuator, or a blocked heater core. That way, you can make informed decisions and drive away with confidence.

Don’t IgnoreThese HVAC Warning Signs

Climate control problems often start small and then fail when you need them most. Here are a few signs it’s time to have your A/C or heater looked at:

A/C blows warm air or doesn’t cool at all

Could be low refrigerant, a failed compressor, or a leak in the system.

Strange smells when A/C or heat is on

This may indicate mold in the evaporator or a dirty cabin air filter.

Heater only blows cold or lukewarm air

Often related to heater core blockages, low coolant, or blend door issues.

Unusual noises when fan is running

Clicking or whirring sounds may be signs of debris, a worn motor, or broken fan blades.

Weak airflow from vents

Usually caused by a failing blower motor, resistor, or clogged cabin air filter.

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait. A small HVAC issue today could lead to a complete system failure tomorrow.

Complete Auto A/C and Heater Services

We provide full-service climate control repair for all makes and models. Whether your system blows warm air in summer or doesn’t heat in winter, we’re here to get it fixed properly.

A/C System Diagnostics

We use advanced tools to test system pressures, check for leaks, and confirm refrigerant levels. If something isn’t working, we’ll find the exact cause.

A/C Recharge & Leak Detection

If your A/C isn’t blowing cold, you may need a recharge or have a refrigerant leak. We perform both services.

Heater Core and Blend Door Repair

Cold cabin air in winter? That may point to a failing heater core or a stuck blend door. We’ll inspect and replace components as needed.

Blower Motor & Fan Repair

Weak airflow or no air movement at all often comes from a failed blower motor or resistor. We test and replace these to restore full function.

Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Dirty filters can reduce airflow and allow allergens or odors to enter the vehicle. We replace cabin filters as part of routine service.
