Does Turning on the Heater Consume More Fuel?

Turning on the heater in winter does not consume more fuel. Here are some related tips about car air conditioning: 1. Do not turn on the heater immediately after a cold start, as the engine coolant temperature is not yet sufficient to provide the required heat for the heater. 2. The heater utilizes the internal heat circulation of the car and does not require the compressor to be activated. Therefore, avoid pressing the compressor button to prevent unnecessary fuel consumption. 3. Avoid keeping the heater on for extended periods while parked, as the closed windows can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, especially if you are sleeping in the car with the heater on. It is advisable to keep a window slightly open to maintain air circulation.
