Checking on your air-conditioner is an important part of summer car maintenance. But it can be tricky to know when is the right time to regas it! Generally speaking, you should regas your aircon annually.
That said, it may not be necessary if you live in a cool area! To make sure it’s time to regas your air conditioning, keep an eye out for these telltale signs:
  • The air you’re getting isn’t cold enough.
  • The air struggles to cool off in a reasonable amount of time.
  • A weird or bad smell comes out of the vent when you turn on the air conditioner.
  • You notice weird noises when the air conditioner is on.
Since you’re already taking the time to learn about your air conditioning maintenance, take an extra minute to save on car insurance with
