Drivers of the 2016 Buick Encore have reported a situation where the air conditioning turns on when both the heater and fan are being used simultaneously. This happens because when the heat is activated and the fan is turned on, the air conditioning also kicks in automatically. This is not a flaw in the system but a feature of the Encore's dual climate control capabilities. The car's climate control is designed to detect moisture in the cabin and uses the air conditioning to lower humidity by circulating drier air. Other heating issues with the Encore may stem from issues like low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, a malfunctioning water pump, a damaged heater core, or compromised heater core hoses.
