Your Trusted Auto Electrician in Brunswick Heads

It depends on how often you use your vehicle. If you drive 3-5 times a week, we recommend servicing every two years. With lighter use (once a week), a service should be carried out once every 4 years.

Here are some tips to maintain your car’s air conditioning:

• Have it cleaned by professionals
• Regular professional maintenance is a must
• Have problems addressed quickly
• Let the A/C run for at least 10 minutes every week
• Let the A/C's defrost mode run for about 5-10 minutes every week

The most common causes of broken air conditioning are leaks or compressor issues. If your air is blowing cool but not cold, the problem could be a clogged filter, cooling fan problem, radiator trouble, or it could simply be that you need to recharge your A/C.

Even while your car is off, your battery provides power to components like the clock, the radio, and the alarm system. These things shouldn't have a major impact on your battery. What may drain a car battery when it's off are interior lights, door lights, and bad relays.
