The weather outside is getting quickly hotter and hotter. Before you know it, it’ll be 90 degrees or more. This would be the absolute worst time for the air conditioning in your Chevrolet to not work as well, which is why we have put together a few ways to keep your summer running cooler while riding around in your car.

1: Have Your AC System Checked

Having an older vehicle means you need to keep an eye on your AC system because it will need to be repaired or replaced as it ages. Maybe it’s time to trade it into Chevrolet of Spring Valley and find a great value in a new or used car. That said, if your vehicle is older, you may need your air conditioning system renewed with either an AC compressor or some refrigerant to help cooler air come out of your vents. If your air conditioning isn’t quite cold enough, call or stop by our service department to get your system checked. Our qualified technicians can help diagnose any issues. 

2: Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

The cabin air filter in your car is rarely replaced on time and is an often overlooked maintenance item. It filters out various allergens, dirt, and debris from the air conditioning system. Some cars have them hidden under a plastic cover under the hood just under the windshield, while others have them around the footwell or under the glove compartment. Changing this filter can help with various odors inside your car, making your AC system run more smoothly and efficiently. 

3: Let Your Car Get To Operating Temp Before Using Max AC

Because of the heat, your car’s interior will take longer to cool on a hot day. To help cool your car’s interior more efficiently, leave the max AC button turned off and then use the outside air circulation button. This ensures your vehicle gets all the humidity out of your air conditioning system. From there, you can turn on the max AC button and turn on the interior recirculation mode to keep the system nice and chilly.

We have dozens of new and used vehicles to choose from, and our great sales team and finance department will work to help you get the best price possible.
