As the New Zealand summer heats up, there’s nothing worse than sitting in traffic with warm air blowing from your vents. A properly working car air-conditioning (A/C) system isn’t just about comfort—it’s also essential for your health and the longevity of your vehicle.
At MIG CARS, we care about keeping you cool and safe on the road. Here’s why now is the perfect time for a pre-summer A/C inspection.
Why Your Car Air Conditioning Needs Attention
Over time, your car’s A/C system loses efficiency due to normal wear and tear. Without regular checks, minor issues can turn into expensive repairs. Common problems include:
-
Refrigerant leaks – reduce cooling power and overwork the compressor
-
Dirty or clogged cabin filters – cause weak airflow and unpleasant smells
-
Old compressors or fans – lead to unusual noises or system failure
-
Mould and bacteria – can grow in the vents and affect air quality
A quick professional check can identify these issues early—saving you money and keeping your cabin fresh.
Quick Self-Check Before You Drive
You can do a simple A/C test at home:
-
Turn on your A/C and see if it cools within 1–2 minutes
-
Check for strange noises or musty smells
-
Ensure the air flows strongly from all vents
-
Make sure the temperature and fan controls work smoothly
If you notice any weak cooling or strange odours, it’s time to book a service.
