How to Care for Your AC System

One of the best ways to ensure your car’s air conditioning system remains up to par is to adhere to its maintenance needs. Routine inspections are highly encouraged at least once a year. An AC recharge is considered a maintenance item but is only needed when warm air starts blowing instead of cold. This service removes the old refrigerant and replaces it with a fresh supply. There are a few habits you can do on your own to further assist with the function and longevity of your car’s AC system. For starters, we recommend running the air conditioning for 10 minutes at least once a week to maintain proper gas pressure and ensure the compressor remains in good condition. Additionally, we recommend running it in defrost mode, which helps clear up any signs of moisture and prevents mildew.
