Is it necessary to service my Air-Con during the Winter Months?

Is it necessary to service my Air-Con during the Winter Months?

You might notice your car acting strange just as winter starts setting in.   This happens when the low temperature begins to hinder the complex systems of your vehicle. You might experience that your car belts are becoming brittle or maybe stiff, or contracted. You may even come across expanded fluids and shrinking metal parts. That’s when you know your vehicle is due to some maintenance.  

Many experts believe that running your AC in winters is a good idea as it significantly prolongs its life. 

Surprisingly, winter is the best time to get your Air conditioner serviced. It is easy to overlook your air conditioner when it’s hardly used in the winter months. If you thought you should get your Air-conditioner serviced only when summer is approaching, here are a few reasons to explain to you why it is essential to service your air-conditioner during winter.

It keeps away winter-related damages. 

Extreme cold can damage your AC units.  Even though you might not need them in winter, you must make sure they work well before you need them again once the scorching heat arrives. 

Fewer Breakdowns 

Servicing is usually needed to keep your vehicles in the best possible state all year long.  Hence, skipping the much-needed maintenance means there are high chances of breakdowns. 

Idling your vehicle in winters can cost you big time. 

Did you know that a proper functioning unit runs more effectively, which means maintaining your vehicle will not be too hard on your pockets?  What’s more? It is relatively cheaper to get your car serviced in winter due to the demand and supply.   You will also come across several companies offering affordable rates for winter servicing.  Not servicing your vehicle would ultimately be very hard on your pockets. 

Peace of mind

An air-conditioning technician performs multiple inspections, adjustments, and tests on the air handler, coils, compressor, air ducts, and electronics.  This not only makes your vehicle effective, but your car also might not need serious repairs any time soon. 

That’s not it… by servicing your cars in winters, you will be relaxed knowing that summers will fail to catch you off-guard. By being proactive, you can save lots of time and money.
