Did You Know? - The Importance of Car AC Maintenance

The Air Conditioner (AC) is an essential component of a vehicle. It helps maintain a comfortable cabin temperature, filter out air pollutants, and support the health of both drivers and passengers. Like other vehicle components, the AC should be maintained regularly to ensure optimal performance.

Why is AC Maintenance Important?

1. Energy Efficiency. Regular maintenance helps the AC operate efficiently and can reduce fuel consumption.
2. Prevent Serious Damage. Routine care can prevent minor issues from developing into major, costly problems.
3. Better Air Quality. Proper maintenance prevents the buildup of dust and debris, keeping the air inside the vehicle clean and comfortable.

When should AC maintenance be performed?

• Minor Maintenance. Every 6 months or 10,000 km. Includes cleaning the AC filter, replacing compressor oil, and checking the AC system.
• Major Maintenance. Every 2 years or 40,000 km. In addition to all minor maintenance tasks, this includes cleaning the evaporator and condenser, inspecting AC hoses, and refilling refrigerant if needed.

By performing regular maintenance, both minor and major, your car’s AC will continue to function optimally, ensuring comfort and high-quality air.
