How You Can Protect Your AC System

Outside of having your vehicle’s AC system regularly serviced, there are other things you can do outside of the shop to ensure the system is working at its best for the long haul. The great thing about these tips is that you don’t have to be a skilled auto technician to do them. If you’re looking to get the best out of your car’s AC, here’s what you should do:

• Full Blast, Coldest Setting: Have you ever heard the phrase “if you don’t use it, you lose it?” That exact phrase applies to your car’s AC system. The best way to protect it is to use the AC (even in the winter). For the best results, plan on having the system at full blast and its coldest setting for at least 15 minutes. This will help maintain the gas pressure and keeps the compressor functioning, resulting in colder air for longer!
• Clear Any Debris: A great way to protect the AC system is to actually check the grill at the front of your car. Debris can easily find its way into your vehicle, which could be why you are not able to get the full blast of cold air that you want. Leaves are common culprits that can easily get sucked into the system, so make sure to clear them before that happens.
