It is possible that thinking about turning on the car’s air conditioning in the middle of winter may seem very unappealing to us. However, although it may seem counterproductive, experts advise turning on the air conditioning from time to time in the winter season. Because? Because connecting it can bring benefits both for the general atmosphere of the vehicle and for the state of the system.
Have you ever turned on the air conditioning in your car in the middle of summer after a whole year without turning it on and it didn’t work? This could have been avoided if the air conditioning system had been turned on more frequently. In other words, turning on the air conditioning in winter—even if it’s only for a few minutes—helps keep the entire air conditioning system in proper condition and lubricate its components.
But not only that. Turning on the air conditioning prevents the accumulation of moisture in the cooling system, something especially relevant to avoid clogging of ducts or the formation of mold. “The compressor is the engine that circulates the refrigerant gas, and one of the common causes of failure is that it is turned off for too long,” warns the company Euro Taller. And they go further and advise connecting the air conditioning “once or twice a month, for 15 minutes.” This way we will avoid possible breakdowns and humidity from accumulating in the system.
Now, if you notice that your air conditioning system is not working correctly, we advise you to visit a specialized workshop so that they can thoroughly inspect it and carry out the necessary repairs.
