The AC or Air Conditioner is one of the most important devices in a car. Of course, we need oxygen to breathe while driving. You can open the car windows to let air in. However, vehicle emissions, traffic jams, and other vehicle pollution have forced us not to open the windows. The AC is the solution, especially for those of you living in industrial cities.

Often, the AC that is supposed to cool does not function properly. The AC may not make us feel cool, but instead provoke emotions due to having to struggle with the heat.

Tips to Keep Your Car AC Cool 

Hold on, friends. There are several tips you should follow to keep your car AC cool. Pay attention to the explanations below.

1. Keep the Car Interior Clean

The easiest way to keep the AC cool is by maintaining the cleanliness of the car's interior. The carpets, floors, ceiling, seats, and cabin must be as clean as possible. A dirty car interior can hinder the performance of the AC filter. The AC filter can also become dirty, preventing it from producing the cool air you expect.

2. Restart

In the field of computers, restart can be the key to resetting a program. The same goes for the AC. When you are on a long journey, it is recommended to turn off the AC for a while. The AC also needs time to breathe and rest to prevent freezing in its ducts. Remember, do not turn off the car before you turn off the AC. Conversely, do not turn on the AC before you start the car.

3. Park Wisely

If you park in a hot place, don't be surprised if the car AC acts up. The sun's heat can warm the car's interior while it is off. The AC will take a considerable amount of time to cool the car down. Additionally, the cooling load when the car is already moving will also increase.

4. Smoking Kills Your Car AC

Besides being bad for your health, smoking can also kill your car's AC. The AC evaporator can become dirty due to the residue of smoke and nicotine. Furthermore, the smell in your car can become unpleasant.

5. Clean

When you are washing your car, make sure to clean the AC condenser. Open the hood, and look for the part that resembles a radiator. Then, spray it vigorously with water. The condenser must be free from dirt and dust to prevent rust and corrosion.

6. Check Check Check

Like other components, the AC also needs to be taken to a workshop to check its health. You must ensure that every AC component is working well, such as the compressor, receiver dryer, condenser, evaporator, extra fan, and freon.

Usually, the AC components that often have problems are the broken fan belt/drive belt, dirty condenser, weak/dead extra fan, stuck magnetic clutch, worn compressor, excess compressor oil, excessive AC system pressure, dirty/clogged evaporator, clogged ducts, malfunctioning thermostat, and low freon levels. You need to check these regularly and in detail, friends!

A cool AC is one of the factors supporting our comfort while driving a car. If it's uncomfortable, the driver might become emotional, uneasy, and driving could become unsafe.

In the midst of the speed of information and high human mobility on the roads, the AC has also become one of the important needs to build work, dating, and even vacation mood. A cool body triggers a calm mind.

So, do not underestimate the health of your car's AC. The tips above can be applied to keep your car AC cool and continuously functioning.
