Top Tips To Maintain Your Car’s AC: In the summer season, your car is quite comfortable to avoid the scorching sun and have a comfortable journey because it is equipped with an air conditioning system (AC). Some people use the AC feature provided in the car in every season, but some people like to use the air conditioning system i.e. the AC of the car only during the summer season. But people often ignore the care of car AC. To ensure that the AC works properly and keeps the interior of the vehicle cool during the journey, better methods of AC maintenance are mentioned here.
Get your car AC serviced
Many people ignore AC servicing. People who always use car AC should get the filter changed from time to time during maintenance. If the car’s AC is used less, then get the entire AC checked including leaks, refrigerant level and blockage. Also, check the belts that power the AC and lubricate essential parts.
Use car AC regularly
Use AC in your car regularly. There is also an option to control the temperature in the latest cars, in such a situation there is no need to always keep the AC in cool mode. Using the car AC on a daily basis helps in keeping all the moving parts in good condition and if any problem arises, you can get it rectified even during the summer season.
Increase AC settings gradually
A great tip to maintain car AC is that as soon as you start the car, do not turn on the AC in full-blast mode. Instead, let your car’s engine run for a while before turning on the AC. Start with the lowest setting, open the windows to let out hot air, and then gradually increase the cooling. This advice may seem old-fashioned to you, but it is quite effective.
keep filters clean
The air conditioning system comes with a filter, which is usually installed inside the cabin of the car. To avoid the scorching sun during the summer season, the use of AC is most needed to keep the car cabin cool. At such times the filter should be replaced. Changing the filter is a very simple task and takes only a few minutes, if you can do it yourself, then what could be better than that.
park the car in the shade
While parking the car during summer, park it in the shade. Due to this, when the AC is turned on, the car cools down quickly and the AC system does not have to work hard to cool the cabin of the car.
