BEAT THE HEAT
Because AC systems are pressurized, they must be completely sealed to function properly. Over time, these pressurized systems can eventually develop leaks. ... Once the refrigerant and pressure level of an AC system drop too low, it must be recharged with pressurized refrigerant before it will function properly.6

AC Cooling Tells You All About Your Car
WEEKLY RUN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Regardless of the weather outside, make sure to run your car AC for at least 10 or 15 minutes every week. Set the car AC to its coldest settings for the first few minutes so that the compressor keeps working properly and the gas pressure is maintained. Also, ensure to run the AC on Defrost mode to keep the unpleasant odors away, and eliminate any extra moisture that may have settled in the system.
A CLEAN CAR, HEALTHY AIR CONDITIONING
Over time, bacteria can thrive in the innermost workings of a car’s air conditioning system, so looking after the interior of your vehicle, by cleaning, dusting and vacuuming regularly, will help to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating. A full anti-bacterial clean of the air conditioning system will also help to keep your car fresh and odour-free.
RECHARGE/REFILL OFTEN
Many problems with in-car air conditioning systems are a result of low levels of refrigerant that is used to cool down the air before distributing it throughout your vehicle. Refrigerant – also known as coolant – is like other liquids that your car uses in that it can diminish over time, so needs to be topped up periodically (this is called ‘recharging’). It is likely that your car’s air conditioning coolant has a recommended recharge time, possibly every two to three years, so check your vehicle’s service manual or handbook for the details.
FOLLOW THE SERVICE SCHEDULE
Finally, it pays to ensure that you follow the advice stated in your car’s manual to ensure that all necessary services are carried out on the air conditioning system on time, to help to maintain its performance and give you the freshest, coolest cabin for long, hot summer journeys.
