Does sleeping in the car with the AC on for a long time damage the vehicle?
1 Answers
Keeping the air conditioning on for extended periods while parked can harm the car's engine. Here are the key points: 1. Engine damage: Prolonged idling significantly damages the engine. Being in an enclosed space with continuous air circulation causes the cabin air quality to progressively deteriorate. 2. Cooling efficiency: Some vehicles barely provide any cooling effect, and even when they do, it's minimal. This prolonged operation can lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Without driving motion to create proper air circulation, carbon monoxide can accumulate inside the vehicle.
