Here are the top 5 car AC maintenance tips that you should keep in mind before switching on the AC this summer season.
First and foremost, get your HVAC system’s air filter cleaned to clear any blockages that might obstruct a smooth air flow. You might have to get it replaced if it has major blockages that would cause the HVAC system to not work properly.
You should keep your cooling gases up to the optimum levels to avoid any loss in cooling efficiency and ensure that the HVAC system works properly.
The evaporator coil is recommended to be cleaned too, as a dirty coil can reduce the efficiency of the compressor and also damage various components of the HVAC system.
Though you might not need to do this often, you should keep your compressor oil levels in check as the oil lubricates important parts of the HVAC system, and if not at adequate levels, there might be excessive wear and tear and damage to the components.
Lastly, we recommend you to get your AC vents cleaned in order to get rid of any microbial or fungal growth that might have accumulated over time, and you breathe cleaner air inside the cabin.
