The Heat is On!
The Heat is On!
Summer is just around the corner, and things are already heating up! As many of you know, air conditioning is essential to survive the summer heatwaves. No one likes to live in a hot house, much less drive a car with no A/C.
Curry’s has some helpful information to ensure your car’s A/C system is blowing ice-cold air during those scorching summer days in Atlanta!
Proactive A/C Maintenance Tips
1) Get your vehicle’s A/C system checked now. It’s better to do so now than when temperatures are approaching 100 degrees. Since the air conditioner is not always included in a standard check, it can easily be overlooked. Make sure the following are inspected:
- Air vent temperature check
- Reclaiming, recycling, or replacement of operating gas
- Replacement or check of receiver drier/filter
- Adjustment of drive belts and pulleys
- Check operation of valves and thermostats
- Leak test of system lines and components
- Inspection of hoses and components
- Cleaning condenser fins
- Deodorize and sanitize system
2) Leave your car windows cracked. An A/C system works by removing heat; the cooler the interior is to start with, the faster the A/C will do its job.
3) Let the heat out. When you first get in, roll down all windows to let the hot air escape quickly.
4) Start at MAX. When you first turn on the A/C, set it to MAX. Once the car cools down, lower the settings.
5) Eliminate odors. If your air smells like gym socks, switch to “outside air” mode frequently to prevent the system from stinking up your car.
