Does leaving the air conditioning on when starting the car have any impact?

Yes, it does have an impact. When the engine starts, the air conditioning compressor also begins to operate, which places a significant load on the battery and can affect its lifespan. Precautions: Avoid prolonged single-use of the air conditioning: If the interior temperature has reached a comfortable level, you can turn off the air conditioning or turn it on again after a while. Extended use of the air conditioning can cause excessive pressure on the condenser, leading to wear and tear on the cooling system. Therefore, it is advisable not to use the air conditioning for too long at a time. Ventilate by opening windows: When you first enter the car, you should open the windows for ventilation and turn on the external circulation to expel the hot air.
