Heating, Ventilation & A/C Systems

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC) is controlled by the computer system. This system operates on the basis of receiving information from the sensors in various locations (INPUTS). When those conditions match the pre-program circumstances, the computer causes certain actuators to adjust accordingly (OUTPUTS).

Heating, Ventilation & A/C Systems Maintenance Tips

  • Check heater lines, belts and hoses every 20,000 miles. Replace if there is any sign of damage, leak or bubble, or if hoses feel soft and spongy. In any case, replace belts and hoses every 30,000 miles or 4 years.
  • Clean condenser and radiator fins every 20,000 miles
  • Check vacuum control lines every 20,000 miles
