They circulate coolant from the engine to the heater core, where heater fans blow through the core to warm the cabin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expect heater hoses to cost anywhere from $10 to $720.

Here are a few tips to consider when replacing a heater hose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let the Engine Cool Down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let your engine cool down before working on it.

If your vehicle&rsquo;s heater hose comes with a spring-loaded hose clamp, you might need a special removal tool. If your vehicle&rsquo;s heater hose has worm screw clamps, use a screwdriver to remove these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that some heater hoses won&rsquo;t have clamped connections and may require the exact hose to be purchased for the vehicle and engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Note that some heater hoses won&rsquo;t have clamped connections and may require the exact hose to be purchased for the vehicle and engine.<\/p>\n<cite>&ndash;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/author\/richardmccuistian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Richard McCuistian, ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician\">Richard McCuistian, ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/quick-connect-heater-hose-fittings-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"quick connect heater hose fittings image\" class=\"wp-image-106631\" style=\"width:1024px;height:640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/quick-connect-heater-hose-fittings-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/quick-connect-heater-hose-fittings-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/quick-connect-heater-hose-fittings-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/quick-connect-heater-hose-fittings-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/quick-connect-heater-hose-fittings.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A great number of vehicles built over the past 30 years have quick-connect heater hose fittings at the heater core like this where the hoses connect to the heater core. These can usually be removed by squeezing the tabs and sliding the quick connects off the heater hose tubes. Make sure you don&rsquo;t reconnect the heater hoses backwards.&nbsp;<br><br>One of the heater core connections has a restrictor in it and if you connect the inlet hose to the outlet heater core pipe, coolant flow from the water pump can build pressure in the heater core and cause it to burst. This vehicle has &ldquo;out&rdquo; by one of the heater core connections for that reason. The other tube has a restrictor in it. | Image Source: Richard McCuistian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cut the Heater Hose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When cutting the heater hose, use an X-Acto knife for a nice, clean cut along the hose.

These can help you make more informed decisions about your car.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n    <div class=\"help-caption\">\n        <p>\n            <strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>\n            The hoses may also be stuck and will need to be peeled loose from the fitting after you make a linear cut.\n        <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove the Mounting Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some vehicles come with mounting brackets that secure the heater hoses to keep the engine compartment nice and neat. Be sure to first remove any mounting hardware that&rsquo;s in the way, so you don&rsquo;t end up forcefully yanking the hoses from the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean the Hose Fittings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve successfully removed the heater hoses, don&rsquo;t forget to clean the fittings before installing the new hoses. You can use a shop towel to wipe down any dirt or debris on the fittings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compare the Old and New Hoses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before installing the new hoses, compare them with the old ones first. They don&rsquo;t have to be exactly the same, but they should mostly match up. That way, you can be sure they&rsquo;ll fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install the New Heater Hose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When installing your new heater hoses, don&rsquo;t forget to secure them using new hose clamps Most people recommend using new hose clamps when installing new heater hoses to make sure they&rsquo;re both in top condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some hose clamps need a special tool to activate the clamp, so be sure to read the instructions on the packaging carefully. Some heater cores connections are deep under the cowl and behind the engine and you may have issues verifying that the hoses are properly connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check for Coolant Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve topped off your cooling system, you can now safely drive your vehicle. Go on a test drive first and check for any coolant leaks. This way, you can be 100% sure that you installed your new heater hose correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does a Heater Hose Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Connected to the heater core and engine, automotive heater hoses are rubber hoses that circulate coolant through the heater core to keep the cabin warm. You can find the heater core inside the vehicle&rsquo;s dashboard on most vehicles, so the heater hoses typically extend from the engine to the firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heater core hoses are a crucial part of your vehicle&rsquo;s heating system, and they work hand in hand with the cooling system. After the coolant absorbs excess heat from the engine, it flows to the heater core through the heater hose. From there, heater fans blow through the core to warm the cabin. This also cools down the coolant, which the hoses send back to the cooling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does a Heater Hose Replacement Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, you can expect to spend anywhere from $480 to $510 if you hire a mechanic to replace your heater hose. You can save money by replacing it yourself, but the final price of heater hoses will still vary depending on several factors, including your vehicle&rsquo;s year, make, and model. On average, however, heater hoses can cost anywhere from $10 to $740.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get OE-Grade Heater Hoses For Your Vehicle Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heater hoses can become brittle and develop leaks over time. While your hose might not be leaking yet, it might be best to replace it if it&rsquo;s already old. A leaking heater hose can quickly deplete your coolant levels, which can result in overheating and significant engine damage. Luckily, CarParts.com can make searching for a replacement heater hose easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/carparts.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"CarParts.com\">CarParts.com<\/a> lets you shop for the right heater hose easily, thanks to our vehicle selector.
