Keep Your Cool All Year Round: Bartlett Automotive's Guide to Air-Con Care

Here in the UK, we might not always crave icy blasts of air conditioning, but believe it or not, using your car’s Air Conditioning system throughout the year can actually be beneficial. At Bartlett Automotive at Peterborough and Huntingdon, we’re passionate about keeping your car happy and healthy, and that includes keeping you comfortable on the road, no matter the season.

More Than Just Summer Coolness: The Secret Benefits of Year-Round Air Conditioning Use

  • Defrosting in a Flash: During those chilly mornings or damp evenings, your AC (Air Conditioning) system can act like a dehumidifier. By removing moisture from the cabin, it helps prevent that pesky fogging on your windscreen and side windows, keeping your view clear and your drive safe.
  • Save Money in the Long Run: Regular use helps keep the system lubricated and the seals in good nick, which means less chance of leaks and other problems that can land you with a hefty repair bill.

Simple Tips for Top-Notch Air Conditioning Performance:

  • Get a Regular Check-Up: Our qualified technicians recommend an air conditioning system inspection every two years. This way, we can spot any potential issues early on, saving you time and money in the future.
  • Swap That Cabin Air Filter: A blocked filter makes your AC work harder, meaning it’s less efficient and could even get damaged. Make sure to replace your cabin air filter according to your car’s manufacturer recommendations.
  • Give Your AC a Blast, Even in Winter: Briefly running your AC system every few weeks helps keep the seals lubricated and stops them from drying out.
  • Professional Clean & Leak Detection: Over time, dirt and debris can build up on the condenser and evaporator coils, hindering performance. Bartletts Automotive offers professional cleaning services to ensure optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. We also use a special UV dye during maintenance to help us quickly identify any leaks in the future.
