Whether you’re battling summer heat or winter chill, your vehicle’s air conditioning and heating system should keep you comfortable and safe. When temperature control fails — warm air in hot weather, icy vents in cold — the problem often goes beyond comfort: it affects defrosting, visibility, and long-term component health.
At Crompton Brothers Automotive, we provide comprehensive A/C & heating repair in Burnaby, from accurate diagnostics to dependable repairs and performance restoration. Serving the area since 1980, we help drivers and local businesses stay comfortable year-round with honest recommendations and quality workmanship.
The climate systems in today’s vehicles are complex, and problems rarely fix themselves. Watch for these common symptoms:
❄️ Air Conditioning Problems
🔥 Heating System Problems
Any of these symptoms are worth a professional inspection — ignoring them can lead to compressor failure, heater core damage, or electrical system strain.
Your vehicle’s climate control system does more than make you comfortable:
Because these functions cross over with other vehicle systems (electrical, cooling, engine), accurate diagnostics are essential.
At Crompton Brothers Automotive, we follow a structured diagnostic approach to find the root cause — not just the symptom.
After testing, we’ll explain what’s affected, why it’s happening, and what repair options make the most sense for your vehicle and driving needs.
Refrigerant Recharge & Leak Repair
Low refrigerant is one of the most common causes of poor A/C performance. We:
Compressor Repair & Replacement
A failed compressor can’t circulate refrigerant. We diagnose compressor issues and replace faulty units when needed.
Condenser & Evaporator Service
These heat exchange components can become clogged or damaged. We inspect and service them to restore proper cooling.
A/C Electrical & Control Repairs
Modern climate systems rely on sensors and electronics. We test and repair switches, control modules, and wiring faults affecting A/C operation.
Heater Core Inspection & Repair
Clogged or leaking heater cores can cause loss of warm air and coolant leaks inside the cabin.
Blower Motor & Fan Resistor Service
If air doesn’t blow at all speeds, the blower motor or resistor may need service.
HVAC Actuator & Blend Door Repair
Temperature control problems often involve blend doors or actuators; we diagnose and repair these precisely.
Cooling System Correlation
Because the heater uses engine coolant, we inspect:
This ensures the heating system works in concert with the engine cooling system.
Many shops simply recharge refrigerant and call it “fixed.” But low refrigerant is only a symptom — the leak or failure source must be found and corrected, or the problem will return.

Warm air can be caused by low refrigerant, a faulty compressor, clogged condenser, electrical faults, or leaks.
A/C maintenance isn’t usually on a fixed schedule, but it’s a good idea to inspect your system seasonally or if performance drops.
Possibly, but many components are shared (blower motors, electrical controls), so a broken A/C can affect heat distribution or airflow.
Yes. The heater core uses engine coolant to generate heat. Low coolant or circulation problems (thermostat, water pump) can reduce heating performance.
Yes. We provide A/C & heating diagnostics and repair for all makes and models, including personal and fleet vehicles.
