This is exactly what preventive maintenance is. It is preventive! It prevents problems before they occur.

Most of the times the user has the impression that the air conditioner is working properly, when in fact it is malfunctioning. Modern air conditioners have psecifications for warm climates. When the external temperature is not very high, even when the air conditioner is working 80% of its normal capacity, the space is air conditioned. However, when the external temperature rises, then the user realizes the vehicle's cooling capacity is not met and realizes that it needs to be serviced. An air conditioner that has not been serviced and the amount of refrigerant is not the appropriate as specified by the manufacturers, it will not be working properly, thus increasing the compressor's temperature. The oil that ensures the smooth operation of the compressor does not circulate properly, it absorbs dirt and moisture, its quality deteriorates and loses its properties.

The air conditioner is a heat pump, it absorbs heat from inside the vehicle and expels it into the environment. To achieve this, it uses heat exchangers. With its regular use in the polluted urban environment these heat exchangers become dirty, and their capacity to transmit heat is reduced. As a result, the temperature and the pressure of the refrigerant is increased, the compressor struggles to operate, it absorbs more energy to produce the same work and consumption increases. All these factors result in increased wear of the compressor, the hear of the air conditioner.

It is particularly important for the quality of the inhaled air to clean and disinfect the evaporator. Its humid and dark environment is ideal for the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi, which are the main cause of the development of allergies and respiratory infections. With regular disinfection, allergens and bacterial overgrowth are eliminated, ensuring a healthy and pleasant atmosphere inside the car.

The car has a lot of moving parts. The manufacturer makes sure that all parts are stable to avoid friction damage. However, due to vibrations, the connections loosen, resulting in holes being created by friction. During preventative maintenance, such problems are detected and corrected before they lead to leaks that damage the environment with the gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect.

During the complete preventative maintenance the alternators are cleaned, the oil is checked and replaced, the refrigerant is recharged properly, the filters are checked and the system is disinfected.

For this reason, preventative maintenace means health, economy, smooth operation of your air conditioner and above all environmental protection!
