Escape from the heat: how to save the car air conditioner in the summer?

Summer is a time of testing not only for the driver, but also for the car air conditioner. Under the scorching sun, the system wears out, which can lead to its breakdown. How to protect the air conditioner and enjoy coolness even on the hottest day? We will try to answer this question in this publication. In addition, to improve the practicality of the car and make it more advanced, it is recommended to use tuning accessories, a huge range of which is available in our online store.

Do not take it to extremes

• Park in the shade. If possible, leave your car in the shade or in an underground parking lot. This will reduce the heating of the interior and facilitate the operation of the air conditioner.
• Do not turn on the air conditioner to the maximum immediately. First, ventilate the interior by lowering the windows a little. A sharp temperature drop creates an additional load on the system.

Monitor the condition of the air conditioner

• Regular replacement of the cabin filter. A clogged filter reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner and increases its fuel consumption. Change the filter according to the vehicle maintenance schedule.
• Checking the refrigerant level. An insufficient amount of refrigerant reduces the cooling capacity of the system. Check its level with car service specialists.

Use wisely

• Do not keep the air conditioner on all the time. Use climate control or auto mode - the system will maintain the set temperature automatically.
• Don't forget to turn it off periodically. Every 15-20 minutes, turn off the air conditioner for 2-3 minutes. This will help equalize the pressure in the system and prevent freezing of the evaporator.

Remember! Taking care of the air conditioner is the key to its long service life. By following these simple tips, you will ensure comfortable trips even in the most intense heat and avoid expensive repairs to the air conditioning system.
