Is the Heat Breaking My Alternator?

New Orleans residents are very familiar with the struggles of surviving the summer. People and cars are pushed to their limits in the scorching heat. We see a large amount of heat related alternator failures in the summer.

It’s your alternator’s job to supply your vehicle with electricity.

Alternators are exposed to high under hood temperatures and increased electrical demands. Sometimes the summer heat is too much for your alternator.

A sign of a failing alternator could be a “whirr” noise from under the hood or a battery light lit on your instrument panel.

If you think your alternator may be starting to go bad, let us take a look and help you prevent breaking down.
