Whilst the air conditioning in your car is regularly used during the summer, many of us rarely use it throughout the winter months. However, not using your air con regularly throughout the duration of the year can be detrimental. This is because the gas travels in the system alongside oil; this oil lubricates the air conditioning components, prolonging the life of the components.
Therefore, you’re advised to use your A/C for at least 30 minutes each week during the year to maintain its efficiency.
By not using the A/C regularly bacteria can build up in the system causing a bad odour to emanate from your ventilation. By not using the air con in winter, these bacteria can build up and when you come to use it on a hot day you’ll regrettably have the misfortune of this awful smell and the inability to use your A/C until it is sanitised.
RECOMMENDATION – have your car’s air conditioning serviced every 2-3 years to maintain its effectiveness.
TIP - use the air conditioning together with your heater system in the winter, this will dehumidify the air and clear your windscreen fast and efficiently.
