The summer’s heat can be a challenging experience for you while driving. But, with a perfect working AC in car, you can enjoy your ride and journey. Car’s AC is an important part and functional component in your car that requires proper maintenance and care to work in a perfect and optimal condition specially during summer’s time. In this blog, we are sharing 6 vital tips that would guide you and help you to maintain Car’ AC.
1. Regular Maintenance Checks
We need to give a proper & regular maintenance to our Car’s AC. We just need to make sure that our car is getting routine inspections and regular maintenance of AC during periodic maintenance of our car in the garage of your city. Before booking car servicing, always make sure that you car workshop or mechanic that you selected is a professional one and they will deliver the Car AC repair service properly. Car AC servicing includes check the refrigerant levels, any leaks inspection, compressor testing, condenser examining, etc. Regular maintenance of AC avoid and prevent car from potential problems and give you confidence on your Car Ac and their cooling performance.
2. Clean or Replace Air Filters
Car Ac air filters also an important component and play a vital role in the cooling performance of AC. With the time period, AC filter got dust and dirt that reduce the airflow and decrease cooling performance of the car. So, we should focus on air filters and let it replace before summer season. We also recommend to buy or replace the Car AC air filters from only verified and trusted workshops. You can find the trusted workshop in your city at carvaidya.
3. Check and Maintain Refrigerant Levels
If refrigerant is low, your Car’s AC will not work. The refrigerant is the main responsible part for the cooling and temperature in your car cabin. Everything is working fine in your Car AC, but you are not getting cool air, that’s mean your car AC’s refrigerant level is low. And you should not avoid it because low refrigerant level can cause and damage the car AC compressor. We would recommend you to check refrigerant level of Car Ac during each periodic service. In case you are getting it low, then don’t hesitate or avoid to refill it instantly. Always hire or book a car service from a trusted car repair mechanic who should be transparent with you and give you clear idea of car's functional status and also suggest you to right course of action for your car.
4. Keep Condenser and Evaporator Coils Clean
The other 2 important components of Car AC are condenser and evaporator coils. The functionality of these components is to provide exchange heat and cooling. Similar to air filters, condensers, and evaporators also accumulate dust and dirt that decrease the performance and lead to the pressure on the AC compressor. In the regular maintenance of the car, we should focus on condenser & evaporator health also.
5. Use Sunshades and Park in the Shade
When we part our car in high sunlight, the car interior temperature goes up and that gives an uncomfortable environment for our car AC to control or cool it. When we park our car under the direct sunlight, we should use sunshades on windshields or windows that help to reduce the impact of sunlight. Moreover, we should always park our car in a shaded area like building parking or under the tree.
6. Avoid Overworking the AC
In the Summer season, we use AC every time during our journey or traveling. Some people set the car AC on maximum to get the cooling instantly. This always maximum usage of car AC leads to intense wear and tear on the AC system. We should focus on using the Car Ac on a moderate setting to maintain a comfortable temperature and it doesn’t give any extra load on car Ac functionality. Even, if it isn’t required then you can shut the Car AC for some time and keep it idle so, the AC system avoids the strain and your fuel efficiency will be increased.
By using above-mentioned tips, any car owner can ensure the car’s AC system is working condition. Also, by keeping knowledge about your car’s AC, you can check and monitor whether your AC servicing has been done or not during periodic maintenance of your car.
