1) Keep Your Car AC Running with Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance on your Car AC system will help keep your Car AC running all year long. Checking and topping off refridgerate levels and ensuring there are no leaks in your Car AC will ensure cool air to keep blowing all summer long. Routine Maintenance on your Car AC will also allow us to specifically check for cross-contamination in your air flow — this helps to ensure you get the best quality air flow as well as best temperature
2) Run your Car AC all year round
Running your Car AC all year round, including during the winter, will help keep the AC system well lubricated and even leak tight. The reason for this is because refrigerant carries oil that will lubricate the AC system, including a very important part — the AC compressor. Running the AC all year round will keep the seals and hoses moist. This prevents the hoses and seals from drying out and cracking which leads to AC leaks.3) Don’t Ignore The Unusual
Musty smells and strange noises are “unusual” and usually a signal that something is wrong with the car AC. Musty smells or an “old” smell could mean your car AC needs a AC system recharge, or it could mean that bacteria, micro-organisms, mold or even fungi are growing inside the vehicle (this is typical for older vehicles). Mold or bacteria can affect a cars passengers, even given them “car sick” symptoms. Strange noises could mean anything from your car AC’s compressor failing to an even more mechanical problem. Do not ignore any of these items and have them checked out immediately.
