“Turn it off!” – air conditioning tips – also for air conditioning haters

Air conditioning check helps save fuel
“Air conditioning systems are filled with refrigerants. They evaporate very easily and the cooling capacity drops significantly as a result,” says Kerbl. The optimal amount of coolant, the tightness of the system and a functioning unit contribute to the fact that the air conditioning system also works optimally. A malfunctioning air conditioning system also increases fuel consumption. Club experts have calculated that annual consumption can be up to five percent higher. During the air conditioning check, the refrigerant is drained, weighed and any missing amount is refilled. The interior air filter can also be checked at the same time and replaced if necessary. In addition, the air conditioning is disinfected if necessary. This avoids the unpleasant musty smell that older systems often give off in the vehicle.
