Tips To Increase Effectiveness Of Car's AC In Summer Season

When the car is parked in the scorching summer sun, the interior of the car can become dangerously hot. In this case, the next logical move is to turn on your vehicle's AC system, only to discover that the AC isn't blowing out enough cool air via its vents. In this article, we've discussed some easy tips that will help to increase the efficiency of your car.

In the summer season, when the body is drenched in sweat and the air is full of heat, dealing with the high temperature is extremely difficult. The car's AC is a life saviour in the summer. Keeping the AC in the optimum condition helps to increase both efficiency and cooling. But what if you were told that following a few simple tips could increase the cooling of your car's AC?
Nine Tips That Will Help You Improve The Performance Of Your Car's AC This Summer

Getting out and driving in the summer heat is a difficult task. Even though modern cars have the function of an AC to keep the interior cool, there are various methods available that can help you increase its performance for better cooling.
By following the nine tips given below, you can improve your car's AC efficiency this summer:
-
Make sure to park your car in the shade to ensure that the interior doesn't get heated up.
-
Always start the AC while driving, as it saves fuel, and cooling is much faster.
-
Installing window shades is an affordable and effective method to increase the performance of a car's AC. It allows less heat build-up and, hence, the AC doesn't need to work too much.
-
Increase the speed of your AC slowly as it helps to drive out heat evenly, providing more cooling without using too much fuel.
-
Clean the AC's condenser and filter from time to time, and vacuum the vents to keep them clean from debris and dust.
-
When you start driving, roll down the windows and shift the AC to fresh air mode, which helps to circulate the hot summer air.
-
Regular usage of AC affects the system's refrigerant by gradually decreasing it. Inspection of the refrigerant makes sure that there is no leakage.
-
Install AC curtains to reduce the area of the car that needs cooling. Less the area, more the cooling.
-
Get your car's AC serviced by a trustworthy professional regularly.
How To Know That Your Car's AC Needs Servicing?

When your car's AC shows the following signs, it means it's time for AC service:
-
The AC air is no longer cool, or is weak, or is no longer the way it used to be.
-
Foul smell from the AC system.
-
The AC system makes a strange noise.
-
Slower cooling than usual.
-
No air because of a blown fuse or air intake being clogged.
-
There is a blower motor or blower resistor failure.
