Are you one of those people who believe that the car air conditioner is solely for hot summer days?
Think again.
As winter sets in, many car owners are confused whether or not they should use their car's air conditioner during the colder months. And while it may seem counter-intuitive, the answer is yes. You should run your car air conditioner in winter, at least occasionally. Here are a few reasons why:
Autotech Bunbury recognise the benefits of using your car's air conditioning unit through winter and offer a special $149 Air Con Service to make sure your AC stays in top condition all year round and enjoy the following immediate benefits;
1. Defogging the windshield
The primary reason for running the car air conditioner during winter is to defog the windshield. Cold weather creates moisture in the car, leading to condensation that collects on the windshield, reducing visibility. Turning on the AC will remove moisture and improve the visibility by reducing fog
2. Improving air quality
As temperatures drop, people tend to keep their windows closed, leading to a stale and stuffy interior. Turning on the AC circulates air and removes odors, improving the air quality in your car.
3. Protecting the AC unit
Your car's air conditioning system works by compressing and circulating a refrigerant through a series of coils and tubes. When it's not in use, moisture and other debris can accumulate in the unit, leading to corrosion and mold. Turning it on regularly during winter prevents this and prolongs its lifespan.
That being said, running your car's air conditioner during winter does consume extra fuel. So if you are concerned about the cost of running the AC in your car and want to keep the fuel consumption low but still ensure the Air Con is protected, experts recommend running it for about ten minutes every week. This duration is enough to circulate the refrigerant and keep the unit clean without increasing the fuel consumption too significantly.
In conclusion, it is advisable to run your car's air conditioner during winter for the above reasons. Besides, it will also ensure your AC unit is in good condition for summer, allowing for a seamless transition when the temperatures rise. So, go ahead and turn on that air conditioner and enjoy a warm and fog-free ride.
