Most people think of their car’s air conditioning as a summer-only feature - but it actually plays a key role in comfort and safety all year round. At M C Motors in Ashford, Kent, we offer expert air con regassing and servicing for all makes and models. Here’s why keeping your air conditioning in top shape matters no matter the season.
1. It Demists Your Windows Faster
In autumn and winter, your air con is essential for clearing condensation from the inside of your windows. A working system removes moisture from the cabin far more effectively than just warm air, giving you clear vision in seconds.
2. It Keeps Air Inside the Cabin Clean
Air con systems left unused or unserviced can collect bacteria, mould and dirt — leading to musty smells or even allergic reactions. A service and antibacterial clean will freshen your system and keep the air inside your vehicle healthier.
3. It Prevents Costly Repairs
Your air con system loses refrigerant gas over time, even if it’s not used regularly. Running the system with low gas puts added strain on the compressor, which can lead to expensive failures. Regassing every 2 years helps avoid this.
4. It Improves Fuel Efficiency
If your air con isn’t working properly, it may draw more power from the engine — making your car less efficient. A well-maintained system cools faster and runs with less strain, saving you fuel in the long run.
5. You’ll Be Ready When Warm Weather Returns
The worst time to discover your air con doesn’t work is when the temperature suddenly spikes. Get ahead of the rush and book a regas during the quieter months so you’re not caught out.
How Often Should You Regas Your Air Con?
Most vehicles need an air con regas every 2 years. If you’ve noticed the system isn’t as cold, the windows take longer to demist, or there’s a strange smell from the vents — it’s probably time to book in.
