Heating

While our winter temperatures don't frequently become dangerous, it is still important for a car to have a working heating system. It functions by pumping coolant through the engine to draw warmth away from the hot motor. In doing so, it keeps the engine heat level low  while also providing energy to the heater core near your dashboard. Then, when you want to warm up the cabin, the system pumps hot air through the vents. If any parts of this setup are malfunctioning, it can cause problems for your car's ability to keep your body temperature regulated during drives up north. 

Cooling

Driving down I-45 in the sweltering heat of summer can be especially taxing if your car’s AC is not working properly. This system uses refrigerant that cycles through metal coils to condense cold air around a unit. By doing so, it creates a chilly breeze that the air conditioner can then push into your car, cooling you off in the process. If the cabin air filter has been clogged by leaves, dirt, and dust, then it may not allow enough wind to pass through it. This leads to poor airflow and reduced breathing quality. A sweet smell in the vehicle can also indicate a coolant leak, which might result in your Accord, Civic, or CR-V being unable to regulate the cabin temperature.
