Your vehicle's air conditioning system consists of both the air con filter and evaporator. The air con filter blocks undesirable particles such as dust from entering your vehicle through the air conditioning system. However it takes more than just a clean air con filter to keep the air in your cabin fresh.
Therefore, other than replacing the air con filter at recommended intervals, it is also important to periodically clean the evaporator to keep you and your passengers comfortably and healthy.
The importance of servicing your air conditioning system
Your vehicle’s air conditioning system consists of both the air con filter and evaporator. The air con filter blocks undesirable particles such as dust from entering your vehicle through the air conditioning system. However, it takes more than just a clean air con filter to keep the air in your cabin fresh.
The evaporator located inside your vehicle’s air conditioning system cools the air passing through it. High humidity makes it an easy and ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi in the evaporator coil. Not only do they cause bad odour, they may also cause asthma and infections.
Therefore, other than replacing the air con filter at recommended intervals, it is also important to periodically clean the evaporator to keep you and your passengers comfortable and healthy.
How do I get a more comfortable interior?
Over time, your air con filter gets dirty and its filtering and deodorising capabilities will gradually decline. To keep your vehicle in good condition, we highly recommend periodic replacement of the Kia genuine air con filter at every 1-year or 20,000 km, whichever comes first.
How often should you service your air conditioning system?
It is strongly advised to replace the air con filter and clean the evaporator regularly for your health and comfort. Servicing the air conditioning system regularly ensures circulation of cool, clean and fresh air in the vehicle.
The air conditioning system is disinfected and unpleasant odours are removed with the use of a cleaning technology that eliminates bacteria, spots and mould to provide fresh and clean air inside the vehicle.
