Should I Run My Car’s Air Conditioning in the Winter?
Now that the fall and winter seasons are upon us, most of us will be using our car’s heater on a semi regular basis. It would not be unusual to go four months or more without using the air conditioner in our Car, Truck or SUV and not give it a second thought.
There are a couple of reasons why you should run your air conditioner at least once every two weeks for 10 minutes or more. The first reason is that it will keep the seals of your AC unit lubricated. The majority of the AC systems in vehicles today have self lubricating features. They only work while the system is running.
The second reason is that it is less likely that your system will not work when you go to use it in the spring and summer months. Older AC systems will lose their Freon if you do not use them on a regular basis.
