How to Maintain the A/C System

The air conditioning system for your Ford needs to be maintained regularly just like with the rest of your vehicle. If you fail to add refrigerant to the system when it runs low, you could end up damaging the system. When you get your air conditioning system maintained, the technicians can diagnose issues early, which may prevent more expensive damage.
You can refer to your owner’s manual to know how often to maintain your air conditioning system. For most brands, you should have it inspected at least once a year, in the spring before you need to use it. However, you can schedule service in between maintenance appointments if you notice issues.
A service technician will inspect the system and look for worn parts that will need to be replaced. They will also perform a charge test to know if more refrigerant is needed.
