An air conditioning system plays an important role in maintaining your vehicle's climate control. Not only does it cool the interior air during hot weather, but it also helps to dehumidify the air, improving visibility by preventing fogged windows. A well-functioning AC system is essential for your comfort and safety, especially during extreme weather conditions.
