HEATING & AIR

Comprehensive Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Stay Comfortable Year-Round with Expert HVAC Services from Elite Auto & Tire

Your vehicle's HVAC system is crucial not only for comfort but also for defrosting and defogging windows, maintaining the flow of engine coolant, and ensuring the proper operation of belts that drive your alternator, power steering, and water pump. Heating and cooling issues can vary widely depending on the type of car or truck you drive, but Elite Auto & Tire can handle them all.

Why Choose Us for HVAC Services?

Your heating and A/C systems are complex, requiring the right tools and up-to-date knowledge to address specific issues. Our technicians are experienced with all makes and models and can quickly diagnose and repair any problems with your heat and A/C system, whether they stem from compressors, high-pressure lines, special gasses, condensers, actuators, electronic and vacuum signals, or other components. A well-functioning air conditioning system is essential for cooling your vehicle and heating the interior when needed. Regular servicing is key to preventing further complications.

Heating Systems: Reliability and Risks

While heating systems are generally more reliable than A/C systems, issues can arise, and their consequences can be severe if neglected. Lack of defrosting and defogging capability is not just inconvenient but also unsafe. A clogged heater core can cause engine overheating, and a failed heater core can leak coolant, damaging other components. If your heater is malfunctioning, have it inspected immediately. Often, a simple coolant flush can resolve the issue if caught early.
