Most of the motorists rush to get their car AC serviced once summer starts. But to tell you the truth, the real way of car AC is not in summers, but in monsoons! Mud, contaminated water and humidity in the air during monsoons put a lot of stress on the AC system. Hence, it is very important to check the car AC as soon as the rainy season ends. If you ignore it, your AC could suddenly fail next summer. Following are the main reasons why AC servicing should be done after monsoons,
Fungus and bacteria
Due to the humidity in the air during monsoons, mold accumulates on AC ducts and evaporator coils. This causes a musty smell when starting the car. This polluted air can cause respiratory diseases.

Condenser blocked by mud and debris
A car’s AC condenser is usually located behind the front bumper. Rainfall and road mud, garbage and dirty water blow directly on it. After this sludge dries, the condenser mesh becomes blocked, making it difficult for the AC to expel heat and reducing cooling.
Cabin filter jamming
Due to the moisture in the air, the cabin filter of the AC becomes damp and the dust settles on it, causing it to completely choke-up. This reduces AC air and reduces mileage due to load on the engine.

Risk of corrosion and gas leaks
Due to accumulation of mud and water, the aluminum pipes of the AC start to rust. This increases the chances of ‘AC gas leaks’ due to micro holes.
How to avoid big expenses?
If you do only filter cleaning, condenser wash and duct sanitisation after monsoon, the job will cost only a few rupees. But if the waste remains the same, a summer compressor failure or condenser replacement can cost thousands of rupees.
