When the sweltering heat of summer hits or the muggy days seem endless, there's one component in your vehicle you'll be thankful for - your car's air conditioning (A/C) system. It's not just about comfort; it's also about safety, ensuring your drive is enjoyable and stress-free. In colder weather your car’s air conditioning system also works to demist the windows of the vehicle, a further safety feature.

At its core, the air conditioning system in your vehicle functions through the process of refrigeration. It's comprised of several key components, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. The system circulates refrigerant, absorbs the cabin's heat, and expels it outside, leaving your vehicle's interior cool and comfortable.

But what exactly is your car's A/C system, and how does it operate?

Todays cars are quite complex and just like the engine an automotive air conditioning system has elements that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

The Importance of Regular Air Conditioning Checks

Maintaining optimal performance of your car's air conditioning is crucial. Not only does it ensure your comfort, but it also prevents more significant issues down the line. Regular checks by professional mechanics are vital for a few reasons:

Preventing Expensive Repairs: Early detection of potential issues can save you from hefty repair costs.

Maintaining Efficiency: A well-maintained A/C system operates more efficiently, which can positively affect your vehicle's fuel economy, particularly if you have a vehicle with a smaller engine or one that does not produce a lot of excess power under normal conditions.

Protecting Passenger Health: A clean and properly functioning system keeps the air in your vehicle clean, safeguarding you against allergens and pollutants.

Keep an eye (and nose) out for these signs that might suggest your car’s air conditioning system requires attention:

Reduced Cooling Efficiency: If your A/C isn't cooling as effectively as it used to, it could be a sign of low refrigerant levels or a faulty compressor.

Unusual Noises: Rattling or buzzing noises when the A/C is turned on might indicate a problem with one of the system's components.

Bad Odours: Musty smells from the A/C vents suggest mold or mildew buildup, which not only is unpleasant but also poses health risks.

Visible Leaks: Any signs of leaks inside the vehicle, such as wet carpets, could suggest an issue with the A/C system's evaporator.

At Towers Automotive, we understand the importance of a fully functional air conditioning system for your comfort and safety on the road. Trust us to keep your vehicle's A/C system in top condition, ensuring cool and pleasant drives regardless of the weather outside.

Understanding Your Car's Air Conditioning System

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Towers Automotive in Charters Towers today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Towers Automotive in Charters Towers we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced every 12 months means you may avoid costly breakdowns now and in the future and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system actually saves you money because it reduces the amount of fuel you use.
