How To Get The Maximum Cooling From Your Car AC: Tips And Tricks

Yes, you certainly can feel the bright and shiny sun rays in the hot summer but not when you open the door of your car and catch a gust of hot air tingle your senses. While you park your car under the hot summer sun, the car's interior gets heated to an extreme level. Thanks to modern technologies like AC systems, summers are bearable while using cars.

In the automobile sphere, the invention of the Car AC is the most useful feature of all at least as far as Indian drivers are concerned! In India, most of the states have hot and humid weather during summers. Sometimes the heat becomes very difficult to deal with. Earlier, people used to keep their windows open to get air and ventilation. But with that, they also had to face the boiling hot wind while the car was moving. Since then, the AC system in the car has become most desirable. But the question remains, how to get the maximum cooling effect from the AC system of a car?
It is a piece of cake to get that maximum effect from the system. If you follow some steps or change some habits regarding your vehicle, it will work out for you. People generally think that the maximum cooling effect depends on the proper maintenance of the car or proper and expensive equipment, but the real case is quite different from this one. The cooling effect depends on the minute habits that you should follow daily inside your car.

Before jumping to the technical parts, check out the daily habits to extract maximum cooling from the car AC.
Parking in the shade.
The best and oldest way to keep your car cool is by parking it under a shade on the summer days. This should free you from all of your anxiety related to your car getting hot. If you park in broad daylight, you need to wait for some moments before hitting the road. The car paint is also badly affected at times. Excess heat and rain are the reasons that the colour fades away. If the colour of your car starts fading with time you must consider parking it in shaded spaces.
Dropping down the windows properly
If you do not find parking space under any shade, you can leave the windows open so that the air can circulate enough. This process will stop greenhouse gases from forming, which eventually heats up the car. Buying a sunshade can also be a solution to block sunlight from entering your car.
The fastest way to cool down the car
First, you should turn on the AC at a minimum speed, that will help let the hot air out, and the car starts to cool down. But using the maximum speed may make the AC work harder because that time it starts to take air from the passenger's cabin. So at first, try the minimal way.
Recirculation mode is best
The moment the AC starts to blow the cool air, turn the recirculation mode on. This mode works by not pulling the outside air and only using the air inside the car cabin. This helps the car to cool down with minimum effort. In the meantime, you should remember to turn off the AC once you reach your desired location. This makes the AC work better for the next time.

To Conclude
Maintaining the car AC may look like an easy task to do, but the fact is, that it is quite hard to keep it going in a silky-smooth manner. Keep cleaning the dust from your AC. Take care of the ventilation space. Some parts like the condenser coil and fans need to be cleaned periodically. If you consider changing some habits about driving and parking, your car AC will definitely work without creating any problems, while giving you the maximum cooling effect.
