We employ advanced tools to read and interpret data from your truck’s onboard computer. This approach allows us to accurately pinpoint electrical or mechanical faults quickly and efficiently. Regular, in-depth HVAC diagnostics are essential not only for maintaining the interior climate control of your truck but also for preventing minor issues from escalating into major, costly repairs.

Signs of HVAC Issues

Common signs of HVAC issues in heavy-duty trucks include inconsistent temperature control, unusual noises during operation, foul odors from air vents, and visibly leaking coolant. These symptoms indicate that the HVAC system requires professional assessment and repair to ensure driver comfort and system efficiency.

‍

Insufficient Cooling: Insufficient cooling can be caused by a variety of issues such as a malfunctioning compressor, clogged air filters, or low refrigerant levels. This leads to the air conditioning struggling to lower cabin temperatures, especially in warmer weather.

‍

Weak Airflow: Weak airflow from the HVAC vents can indicate a blockage in the air ducts, a failing blower motor, or a damaged fan. This issue can reduce the overall effectiveness of the HVAC system, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable cabin environment.

‍

Strange Odors: Foul or musty odors emanating from the HVAC system can be a sign of mold or bacteria buildup in the system. This not only causes unpleasant smells but can also affect air quality inside the cabin.
