Is there any problem with keeping the car air conditioner on all the time?

No problem, it just consumes relatively more fuel. Here is detailed information about car air conditioning: 1. Definition: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), referred to as car air conditioning, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car cabin to the optimal state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue; it creates good working conditions for the driver and plays an important role in ensuring safe driving. 2. Content: It generally includes a cooling device, heating device, and ventilation device. This combined device makes full use of the limited space inside the car, with a simple structure and easy operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally.
As a regular car owner who often drives around the city to pick up and drop off family members, I do feel that keeping the air conditioning on all the time consumes more fuel. Last month, I used the AC daily during my commute, and my fuel expenses increased by nearly 100 yuan. Over the long term, the air conditioning compressor is prone to wear and aging, and repairs can be costly. I recommend turning on the AC only when driving in hot weather and turning it off when parked or waiting at traffic lights to save fuel. The AC filter should also be replaced regularly; otherwise, dust buildup can affect cooling efficiency and in-cabin air quality. If the AC system develops mold, it may even cause respiratory issues. In short, keeping the AC on all the time is fine, but using it wisely can save money and protect your car.
