Do you have your car's evaporator cleaned only when needed?

Was it worthwhile.

Your AC evaporator shouldn't need cleaning so long as you regularly replace the cabin filter. The filter is about $15 and can easily be replaced by the car owner. Cleaning the evaporator usually requires disassembly of at least part of the dashboard and requires a trained mechanic, it can cost hundreds of dollars.

I change my cabin filter every year, whether it needs it or not.

I’ll ask hubby. He is in charge and keeps up with all car projects. He is good at it. I’m sure he cleans it on schedule.

I replaced them myself in two cars, because they were just too rotted. The part itself is rather cheap (~100€) and I saved the labor costs. 🙂👍

It certainly can't hurt. It would probably save your compressor a lot of work and improve the efficiency of your car's HVAC system.

regular, scheduled maintenance... so far, no issues because of that

I didn’t know my car had an evaporator, but I take it to the dealership twice a year and they take care of that, so I’m sure they clean that too

Thanks for reminding me, I need to clean mine

This is something I check at least once a month in the summer.
