At Kolmanič & Dokl, we will ensure that driving your steel horses during the summer months is pleasant and free from heat strokes.
In summer, the air conditioning in your car is essential for a pleasant drive. Regular maintenance and proper use of air conditioning systems ensure optimal performance and a longer lifespan. Here you will find some key tips for keeping your car cool. Improperly maintained air conditioning can pose a health threat due to microorganisms that settle in the air conditioning system. The lifespan of your car's air conditioning significantly increases with regular servicing. Additionally, you will save money, as proper functioning of the air conditioning reduces fuel consumption and wear on the air conditioning unit.
Regular Maintenance
- Refrigerant Charging: The air conditioning system needs an adequate amount of refrigerant for effective cooling. It is recommended to check the refrigerant level at least once a year.
- System Cleaning: The air conditioning system in the car can accumulate dust, dirt, and microorganisms, which reduces efficiency and can cause unpleasant odors. Regular cleaning of the system ensures fresh air.
- Leak Checking: Refrigerant leaks can reduce the efficiency of the air conditioning system. Regular leak checks are essential for proper operation.
- Cabin Filter Replacement: The cabin filter prevents dust and other particles from entering the car's interior. A clogged filter reduces airflow and the efficiency of the air conditioning system.
Tips for Proper Use
- Turn off the air conditioning before shutting off the engine: This helps prevent unpleasant odors, as the system dries out and prevents moisture buildup.
- Ventilation: Before turning on the air conditioning, open the windows for a few minutes to release the hot air from inside the car.
- Temperature Setting: Set the temperature to a comfortable level instead of the lowest setting to avoid excessive fuel consumption and system strain.
- Regular Performance Checks: If you notice that the air conditioning is not cooling as effectively as usual, consult a professional for inspection and repair.
