Maintaining Your Car Air Conditioning On The Sunshine Coast


Just like every other system in your car, your air conditioning needs to be regularly serviced and maintained. 

If there's one thing I know for sure, car air conditioning on the Sunshine Coast is a must-have. In fact, it's something we all take for granted. However, just like all the other components of your vehicle, it needs to be well maintained.

It's a common mistake to forget all about your car air conditioning over winter when you don't need it. Then, come summer, you turn it on and guess what? It won't work. There's nothing more frustrating!

Regular Service


Keeping auto air conditioning on the Sunshine Coast in good working order requires two things: a regular service and ongoing maintenance. For maintenance, simply run your air conditioning system for a few minutes once a week, all year round. This ensures that all the different components are kept well lubricated, and any problems can be quickly picked up and fixed.

We also tend to forget that your air conditioning system collects all kinds of dirt and pollutants and can become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungus. That's a particular worry if you or anyone that travels in the vehicle suffers from asthma or allergies.

Keeping It Healthy


This is something you can ask about when you book your vehicle in for an air conditioning system service. There are treatments that can be used to kill bacteria and keep the air you breathe healthy.

Regular air conditioning servicing will ensure the system is working perfectly each and every time you turn it on. It will also allow small issues to be addressed before they become major problems. It could even be that your air conditioning system needs to be re-gassed occasionally to keep it in mint condition.

Air Conditioning Specialists


Servicing and re-gassing auto air conditioning on the Sunshine Coast is a specialised skill so you should also take your vehicle to a trained professional. Air conditioning systems also vary from vehicle to vehicle. For example, if you own a European car, you must take it to a European car specialist.

It's a simple step that could save you time, money and discomfort.
