How to get the most out of your car ’ s air conditioning system

Optimizing your car ’ s air conditioning system can make all the difference between a comfortable ride and a sweaty , miserable journey . Here are six tips to ensure your car ’ s AC system works efficiently :

1 . Keep up with regular maintenance . Conduct routine maintenance , including getting your AC system inspected at a trusted auto repair shop every spring before the summer heat sets in .
When the cabin is sufficiently cooled , switch to recirculation mode to circulate the already-cooled air inside the car .
2 . Park in the shade . Park your car in the shade whenever possible to prevent the interior from heating up excessively . Using a windshield shade can also help minimize heat buildup inside the vehicle .
3 . Pre-cool the cabin . On hot days , roll down the windows or open the doors for a few minutes before starting your journey to release the hot air trapped inside .
4 . Use recirculation mode . When the cabin is sufficiently cooled , switch to recirculation mode to circulate the already-cooled air inside the car . This helps reduce the workload on the AC system .
5 . Adjust the fan speed and temperature . Set the temperature to the lowest setting and adjust the fan speed to a comfortable level . Setting the temperature higher forces the AC to mix warm air with the cold , making it work harder .
6 . Regularly clean the vents and ducts . Use a soft-bristled brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris that could restrict airflow in air vents and ducts .
Get an AC tune-up with a certified auto technician in your area to ensure your vehicle stays cool in the scorching heat . n
