CoolCar Air-Conditioning Centre Offers Tips on Spring A/C Maintenance for Your Vehicle

By Tristan Hooker/MediaPA
Summer’s coming. How is your car’s air conditioning holding up? If you want to be cruising the streets in comfort this summer, now is the time to take your vehicle into your nearest CoolCar Air-Conditioning Centre for a spring check-up.
Getting your air conditioning sorted this spring will pay off in comfort and fuel economy, as well as prolong the life of your air conditioning system.
"A car's air-conditioning system is made up of a number of components including a compressor, evaporator, fan and condenser,” says Catherine Tocker from CoolCar Air-Conditioning Centres. Any one of those components may experience wear and tear so it pays to have the whole system checked regularly."
Here are Catherine’s five tips for keeping your air-conditioning system healthy this spring and summer:
Keep the Air Con Running:
Keep your A/C system turned on throughout the year to keep the seals and hoses supple.
Put Your Windows Up:
If your A/C is working properly there should be no need to open the windows, other than to dump the worst of the heat if your car has been parked in the sun. Once you’re going, keeping the windows closed will ensure a constant, cool temperature as well as save your fuel.
Get Regular Services:
CoolCar Air Conditioning Centres have all the equipment and expertise to give your system a thorough evaluation and service, checking all parts for wear and tear and making small repairs before they turn into large ones. Modern A/C systems need belts and pollen filters changed, even when there are no other faults.
Use a Professional:
“Always take your vehicle to someone with plenty of experience and the right tools,” says Catherine. “Vehicle Air Conditioning is a specialised industry and if you don’t know what you’re doing you won’t get the right results and you can end up spending more money than you need to.”
CoolCar Air Conditioning Centres service A/C systems all year round, including winter.
“Now would be the perfect time to bring your vehicle to us,” says Catherine, “before the summer rush starts in December and January, when the weather gets hot and people suddenly can’t tolerate their system not working.”
“Be one of the wise people,” says Catherine, “who get their air con system checked out before the summer heat sets in.”
