You know the comfort of driving your car.  Not only does it get you where you need to go, but it also protects you from the elements as you go from one area to another.  For example, you can go to the grocery store in the middle of a rainstorm without having to worry about soaking your clothes on the way there, or your purchases on the way home.  It is so much more convenient to load those groceries in the car and head home, rather than having to juggle groceries and an umbrella in the middle of a rainstorm.

Warm in the Winter; Cool in the Summer: Benefits of a Functioning Car Heating & AC System

Heating & AC SystemOne of the best ways to keep your car comfortable regardless of the weather is through a properly functioning car heating & AC system.  When your heating & AC system functions correctly, it helps to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  Not only that, but it also serves to increase your safety—since having a working defroster will keep your windshield and other windows clear, thereby reducing the number of blind spots and making it safer for you to drive, even in the middle of a rain or snowstorm.  If your car heating & AC system is not functioning properly, you may resort to solutions such as opening your windows (which decreases your gas mileage and can be a safety hazard if things fly into your vehicle) or bundling up with multiple layers (which can also pose a safety hazard if that makes it harder to steer your car).  Having a properly functioning car heating & AC system gets rid of these safety issues.
