Auto Care Tips
Air Conditioning Maintenance
Almost all cars today have air conditioning. While the systems are quite complex, they often run for years without any major repairs. Inspecting the system regularly can prevent or minimize many repairs. Servicing is becoming more “high tech” and does require special equipment to service the system properly.
Common Myth
It is often assumed that air conditioning is only functional in hot weather, however, systems today run year-round as an integral part of the HVAC system (heating, ventilation, air conditioning). When the A/C runs in cold weather it serves as a dehumidifier allow your windows to defrost faster.
Check How Often?
The HVAC system in your car should be inspected at least once a year regardless of how many miles are driven.
Bottom Line
Like most other systems on your vehicle, proper care and preventive maintenance will normally save money and inconvenience over time.
