Car Heater & Cooling Repair in Bakersfield, CA

Heating & Cooling

Two systems that keep you and your engine comfortable.

Your cabin climate system keeps you comfortable. The heater pulls warmth from your engine’s coolant to heat the cabin, while the A/C uses refrigerant to cool it.

Your engine cooling system keeps the engine from overheating by circulating coolant through the engine and radiator.

Problems in one can show up as symptoms in the other, so Kool Auto Air & Repair checks both together. Cold Central Valley winter mornings and triple-digit summers both put stress on these systems.

What We Do

Heating and cooling services.

Full system checks for year-round comfort.

Heater Not Blowing Warm

A heater blowing cold in winter can point to low coolant or a stuck thermostat. We find which.

Thermostats

Thermostat checks as part of a full heating and cooling diagnostic.

Blower Motors

Weak airflow from the vents can come from the blower motor or its electrical connections.

Heater Cores

Heater core diagnosis when the cabin won't warm up or you notice coolant smells inside.

Engine Cooling System

We check the thermostat, water pump, radiator, coolant condition, and the hoses and connections.

A/C Too

Year-round comfort means a working A/C as well. See our auto A/C repair.

FAQ

Heating and cooling questions.

Why is my car heater blowing cold air?

It can signal low coolant or a stuck thermostat. A heating and cooling diagnostic finds the actual cause before any parts are replaced.

What does a heating and cooling diagnostic check?

For engine cooling, we check the thermostat, water pump, radiator, coolant condition, and the integrity of hoses and connections. Problems in the cooling system can show up as heater symptoms, so we look at both.
