Your car is an haven and it must be comfortable. We know using a car can be stressful but the proper maintenance of the car makes you feel at ease. Your car’s interior is an embodiment of how you see yourself. Your car’s AC says a lot about your person. Are you cool? Or you always hot type? Making your car’s AC function well is tantamount to you treating your car like it’s​ dear to your heart.

In this article, we give you simple tips on how to make your car’s AC into a deep refrigerator. All the hints in the article are tested and trusted.

Turn off passengers’ air vent:
super simple tip is to turn the ac vents going to the passenger side off. Usually there is a control wheel on each air vent that allows you to position and point the air flow. When you turn the passengers’ AC vents off, there would be more airflow to the side that goes to the driver’s seat. This will increase and double the ventilation that comes to the driver’s seat.


Park your car under some shade:
On a hot and sunny day the temperature inside a parked car can get to 145ºF. This is even if the outside temperature is only 90ºF to 100ºF. When you park your car under a shade, it reduces the hotness of the car, thereby, reducing the amount of airflow your AC has to produce, when started, for your car to get cooler.




Reduce acceleration:
In hot weather when running your cars ac, do not accelerate too quickly, accelerate gradually and this will keep the ac running as normal. Your AC reduces as much as you accelerate.




Point the vent at you:
Be sure to position the vent to face you directly. Preferably, one to your head, one to your mid body.




Blowing away heat:
When your car sits in the sun, it gets heated and hot. When you get into the car, get your AC to blow cold air fast as it can, then turn the blower fan to the highest speed. Open all the windows in your car and select OUTSIDE air mode to allow the blowing air to push the hot air out of your car and the ac system itself. After driving a minute or two and the car is aired out, close all the windows. Set the air flow to the upper and lower vents. Turn the knob to RECIRCULATE mode for maximum AC.



Double check if your engine cooling system is working well.
Check your system pressures to make sure you don’t have a small leak.

Wear and tear:
The refrigerant is the main factor in determining your A/C temperature. As this refrigerant wears out, the system is less efficient at turning the liquid into a gas. This gas makes the air cold. In this situation, you can take your car to an air conditioning service specialist to have the refrigerant replaced.
