The air conditioning system in your car helps create and maintain an optimal climate. A comfortable temperature keeps you alert and focused while driving. Additionally, the system prevents your windows from fogging up.
A car’s air conditioning system is not entirely maintenance-free. The closed system consists of various components, such as a compressor, condenser and fan, filter dryer, evaporator, blower, and expansion valve. Many of these parts are moving components, making them prone to wear and tear. Without regular maintenance, the system may lose efficiency or become contaminated. To ensure your air conditioning system functions properly, it is essential to have it checked and serviced regularly. Replacing an air conditioning system can be a costly repair.
The air conditioning system contains fluids such as coolant and oil. Over time, this coolant—also known as refrigerant—can evaporate or even leak through rubber seals in the car. Up to 10% of the refrigerant can escape per year, reducing the cooling capacity of your system. This fluid loss may also cause serious damage to the compressor, a key component responsible for circulating the refrigerant.
Regular air conditioning maintenance is essential for every car owner. Without it, you may notice an unpleasant smell when using your air conditioning. This is caused by mold and bacteria accumulating in the air ducts and on the evaporator. To prevent bacterial and mold growth, it is recommended to replace the cabin filter and clean the housing at least once a year.
