Is your heater blowing cold air, fogging up your windows, or leaking coolant inside the cabin? These are signs of a failing heater core. At Calstate Auto Repair in Burbank, we provide expert heater core replacement to keep Los Angeles drivers warm, safe, and comfortable—especially during cooler months.
What Is the Heater Core?
The heater core is a small radiator tucked behind your dashboard. It:
- Circulates hot engine coolant
- Transfers heat to warm the cabin
- Supports defrosting and climate control
If it’s clogged, leaking, or broken, your heating system won’t work properly—and it could cause bigger cooling system issues.
Signs You May Need Heater Core Replacement
- Cold air blowing from vents when heat is on
- Sweet smell (coolant) inside the car
- Fogged-up windows that won’t clear
- Coolant leaking inside the cabin
- Low coolant levels with no external leak
These symptoms often point to a cracked or clogged heater core.
What’s Involved in Heater Core Replacement?
