Pre-Summer Car A/C Servicing: Why It Matters for Dust, Odors, and Performance

A car’s air conditioning system may struggle to cope with summer heat if it hasn’t been serviced, especially in humid conditions that bring increased dust into the cooling circuit. In recent guidance, automotive technicians emphasize checking the climate control before the hottest weeks of the year. A thorough inspection should include cleaning the evaporator and replacing the cabin air filter. If this step is skipped, dust can accumulate in a humid environment, leading to an unpleasant odor. In such cases, the system may require dismantling and a mechanical clean to remove the smells and restore fresh air inside the cabin.
