Air conditioning facilitates the removal of heat and humidity from inside the vehicle. Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system. To maintain the efficiency of the air conditioning system the compressor drive belt should be checked regularly. If it shows signs of deterioration, it is important to replace it as soon as possible in order to ensure a smooth A/C run.
Simple maintenance tips for a smooth A/C run:
- Make sure your unit is not leaking and is draining as it should.
- Change the filter every 4-6 weeks.
- Clean off the outside air compressor with water.
