Since it is pretty much summer all year around for us, air-conditioning is arguably one of the most important components in our cars. Our comfort and health is both affected if and when our car's air-conditioning decides to fail - nobody likes arriving at work sweaty and annoyed.

Contrary to popular belief, the auto air-conditioning system in our cars does not simply supply the cabin with cold air. Rather, the air-conditioning system is actually designed to remove the hot air from within the cabin and release it out of the car.

In order to do so, the air-conditioning system relies on a number of components to operate effectively, such as the evaporator, condenser and compressor.

Like all mechanical parts, these components are prone to wear and regular system servicing helps to protect them from breakdown. For example, a clogged air filter will disrupt smooth circulation and put more stress on the air con fan.

This may have adverse effect on the system as the cooling system may require more energy to run and will thus operate less efficiently.
