Your Air Conditioning System May Be Only Be Half Effective
There are many benefits of having air conditioning within your vehicle. Air conditioning provides efficient cool air in the summer months. Then the winter it will provide you with warm dehumidified air. This will easily demist steamed up car windows. Air conditioning will keep the air in your car clean. It will also filter pollutants and airborne particles. This will help drivers and passengers who have allergies. It can also provide an odour free environment at all times.
Signs you need an air conditioning service
If your vehicle is making a smell with the air-conditioning on, then there will be a problem. Likely caused by fungus, bacteria and other microbes growing inside. Sometimes within an air-conditioning system moisture can get trapped inside. This contributes to the growth of organisms like fungus and bacteria. Every year your air-conditioning system can lose up to 15% of its refrigerant. If you have a vehicle is 3 years old then it could have lost almost half of its refrigerant, if it hasn’t been serviced. This can cause an impact on the performance, and damage components within the unit. You should regularly have you air-conditioning system serviced. This is to reduce wear and tear on components and to avoid large repair bills. Having a regular service will ensure the system is full of refrigerant, there are no leaks, the pressures are correct and that everything is working correctly.
