How Long Does Car Refrigerant Typically Last?
1 Answers
Car air conditioning refrigerant typically lasts 2-3 years. Here are some tips for using car air conditioning: 1. Ventilate before turning it on: After the car has been exposed to prolonged sunlight, open all four doors and the sunroof to allow air circulation for 3 minutes. This quickly reduces the interior temperature, making the air conditioning more effective when turned on. 2. Use the recirculation mode wisely: Recirculation blocks outside hot air, creating a sealed space inside the car where air circulates rapidly under the AC's effect for quick cooling. After the interior temperature drops, it's recommended to switch to fresh air mode every 30 minutes to purify the cabin air, then switch back to recirculation after 5 minutes. 3. Turn off the AC in time: Shut off the air conditioning 5 minutes before parking to protect the engine and save fuel.
