Auto Air Conditioning Upkeep Improves Gas Mileage
If you are looking for a break at the pumps, you are definitely not alone.
Back in March, gas prices hit “record highs in North Bay,” according to a news report from Bay Today, and they’ve mostly kept climbing ever since (Turi, 2022).
Considering these unprecedented price hikes, many drivers are looking for ways to make their vehicles more fuel-efficient. If you have already installed fuel-efficient tires, emptied excess weight out of your vehicle, and lightened your lead foot, it might be time to look at your air conditioning system.
According to research by the Government of Canada, faulty air conditioning systems can increase fuel consumption by 20-30%, which is greater than the impacts of any other auxiliary features, driving habits, or tire types.
Investing in regular auto air conditioning maintenance can make or break your gas budgeting efforts, both by keeping your system running at maximum efficiency with sufficient refrigerant, no leaks, and fresh filters, and by increasing your odds of detecting more serious problems early on. This not only saves you money; it also conserves more fossil fuels and reduces vehicle emissions to keep North Bay communities safe and sustainable.
Auto Air Conditioning Upkeep Reduces “Ozone-Depleting Substances”
When your air conditioning system springs a leak, you not only lose cooling power—you also release refrigerants into the atmosphere, which is bad for the environment.
If your vehicle was manufactured prior to 1995, it may use air conditioning refrigerants containing ozone depleting substances, particularly hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
Don’t worry—our auto air conditioning specialists work with all vehicles, even those requiring special R-12 refrigerants, so you can keep your community safe while you control repair costs.
While it is now illegal to fill or refill air conditioners with ozone depleting substances, according to the Government of Ontario website, it is also your legal responsibility to have any leaks fixed as soon as possible. Our auto air conditioning experts will scan your system, pinpoint any damages, fix any leaks, and refill your AC with a non-ozone depleting substance, like HFC-134a, all for a great price.
