Effective Tips to Keep Your Car AC Ice Cold
by Write
When a vehicle is brand new, the interior climate often feels brisk and refreshing as soon as you activate the air conditioning system. Over time, however, it’s not unusual for that once-icy stream of air to lose some of its chill.

In fact, under common driving conditions, an air conditioning system might lose roughly five percent or more of its cooling efficiency each passing year.

Replacing your car’s A/C compressor is a substantial task that restores the cooling power you rely on, especially in warm weather.

Yet it’s not only humans that feel the brunt of the heat. Vehicles, too, are subject to the relentless beating sun and elevated temperatures that can stress or degrade their various components. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can fade automotive paint, harden and crack interior trims, and weaken rubber components like belts and seals. Intense heat can also influence the fluids that keep your vehicle running smoothly, accelerating the breakdown of oils and coolants or causing vapors to form in fuel lines.
