Car Airconditioner

A car airconditioner adjusts the temperature in your car to a comfortable level. It works the same way as home airconditioners, using the coolant Refrigerant R12 (better known under the trade name Freon). The car airconditioner is usually installed in small vents throughout the car, so that all passengers can be reached. Controls are on the dashboard and operated by the driver, although newer car airconditioner systems have controls on the passenger outlets as well.

Why do you need a car airconditioner?

The car airconditioner allows you to enjoy the same comfort as you would in your own home or office. While most car airconditioner systems are for cooling, there are also heating systems designed for winter use, mostly available in the far south of Australia where winters tend to be longer and colder.

Who makes car airconditioner systems?

Most car airconditioner models are made by car manufacturers themselves for specific car models. Often, these are built into the car upon purchase, but spare car airconditioner sets and parts are available from most stores. Third-party car airconditioner systems are usually considered inferior, although some brands are gaining popularity especially among small budget cars.

What makes a good car airconditioner?

The first thing you have to know is whether the kind of A/C system you want will suit your car and conform to state regulations. There are strict environmental rules to follow, from choosing the type of car airconditioner to recharging and maintenance. Once that's set, you can look at other features such as controls (analog or digital), power requirements, and energy efficiency.
