Is keeping your cool costing you fuel?

Modern vehicles have become increasingly intricate and sophisticated, with complex components that require regular maintenance and replacement to ensure optimal and consistent performance. One such system is the automotive air conditioning system, which plays a vital role in keeping the vehicle occupants comfortable and cool during hot and humid weather conditions.

As a driver of a modern vehicle and faced with todays fuel prices, you are likely to be interested in getting the best fuel efficiency you can from your vehicle. A car air conditioner is powered by the engine, which invariably means a parasitic loss of power when the air con is in use. Compensating for this loss of power means the engine has to work harder to operate at the same levels as it would when the air conditioner is not in use, with smaller engines being affected by it than larger ones due to the relatively limited power surplus they produce.

It stands to reason that a well serviced air conditioning system will work more efficiently than one that is not well looked after. Therefore, looking after your AC system properly will have the flow on effect of placing lower demands on the engine and a subsequent positive impact on overall fuel efficiency.

Your car's air conditioning system plays a crucial role in ensuring a comfortable driving experience, especially during the scorching Australian summers. However, it is susceptible to problems such as refrigerant leaks or evaporation that can gradually deteriorate the system's performance and increase fuel consumption.

Regular maintenance of your car's air conditioning system will help avoid costly repairs down the track. One of the most common causes of malfunctioning air conditioning systems is due to a low level of refrigerant. Low refrigerant levels cause the air conditioning system to work harder, and this ultimately leads to increased fuel consumption.

By getting a car air conditioning service once a year you may assist preventing costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced car air conditioning system actually saves you money because it results in a reduction of fuel being burned.
