When is car air conditioning maintenance needed?

Car air conditioning maintenance cycle needs to be performed on average 1-2 times/year, depending on usage level and vehicle type.

Normally, the cooling system of the car is one of the parts that is often forgotten when cleaning. Even many lazy car owners are often subjective, rarely do regular maintenance on the car, and only take it for repair when there is a problem.

In the documents, the manufacturer always recommends the maintenance time for air conditioners. Specifically, experts recommend that inspections should be performed periodically every 1-2 years. For commercial transport vehicles or vehicles that frequently operate in hot, dusty areas, the maintenance and inspection cycle must be shorter, especially for car air conditioning systems.

Based on many years of car repair documents in Vietnam, the inspection of the air conditioning system should be done according to the following schedule:

- Cars used less often: check every 1 year, regular maintenance cycle is 2 years

- Regularly used vehicles/ passenger transport vehicles (taxis, route vehicles, tourist vehicles, etc.): check every 6 months, periodic maintenance cycle is 12 months.

It should be noted that in addition to replacing the air conditioning filter system, users should also replace the gas filter for the vehicle to operate most smoothly.
