When people think of AC problems, their thoughts go to the thermostat or control panel. This is due to the control panel being visible and in front of the driver. However, there are a lot of parts that make this cooling system. Just a few weeks ago, a customer came in with no AC running. After popping the hood, it was clear that the AC was running. However, no air was coming through. It was one of the moments where another component of a car can affect your car’s ability to cool down. These components include:
Fortunately, the only problem the customer had was a broken blower fan. However, replacing these fans can be one of the most challenging air conditioning repairs. That is why we recommend getting your car’s AC inspected.
Inspections can catch problems early, which can prevent expensive repairs. An inspection can catch issues like component wear/tear and refrigerant levels. In addition, you can ensure your system is working at optimal performance and has good air quality!
Here are some tips to help you keep your car cooler:
Use a Sunshade or Window Visor
Put up a sunshade or window visor every time you exit your car to keep the interior cool. Keep it even cooler by putting a sunshade in your rearview window as well. Block the sun’s rays from your car!
Use a Dash Cover
A fabric or upholstered dash cover can make your car’s interior more comfortable and a lot less hot. You won’t feel as overwhelmed by the heat if you don’t have to touch hot vinyl and leather surfaces.
Park in a Shady Area
So, whenever possible, park in a shady area. You’ll be happy to enter a not-so-hot car when you return from your being away.
Keep Windows Slightly Cracked
While it’s not a good idea to leave your windows all the way open, it is a good idea to leave them slightly cracked. Even the smallest crack will promote ventilation and help to keep your car from overheating.
