Air conditioning doesn’t just provide in-car comfort during the hot summer months, it can also be used in the winter months to demist your windscreen, using your AC is a great way to fix this problem.
Also in the winter it's a good idea to check your Air conditioning system maintenance, the Air conditioning system in your vehicle isn’t covered your yearly service so it is often forgotten about by many drivers.
Using The Air Conditioning on a regular basis in the winter is a great way to keep on top of any issues as soon as they arise, you don't don't want to get to the hottest days of the summer only to find hot air blowing out when you need it most.
