I have my car's A/C on year round in Newcastle area. Only time I turn it off is when the outside air gets below 17deg as the A/C then starts blowing hot air and I can't stand hot air blowing on me!
Im the same Byron. Must say that I do love having dual climate control. Missas has it on 25 I leave it on 17.
Keeps us both happy.
nothing worse than hot air blowing on you!
By the way good write up.

I use my air con all year as well, it's the best for keeping the window's de misted as well.

Another A/C all year round here too....
Not only is it best for demisting, and keeping your cool, it's also the best thing you can do for the system - running it keeps the seals lubricated, and reduces the chance of a leak developing.
I've had 2x VS commodores go more than 10 years without needing any A/C work. One got a minor top-up when it was 11, and that's it - still running perfect. Yet the neighbour's one failed after just 2 years, and they are constantly getting it regassed every summer. The difference? They don't run theirs unless it's a stinking hot day.
Hey Byron I have a complete air con unit i have been putting aside for a while to go into the sandman, as it has half of one of those crappy after market under dash 'cut off half yr glove box compartment' units.... I noticed that you recommend using a HZ unit for a HZ etc...
Thought I might try get it in soon so maybe might have it done by summer.....
Thing is I got this unit ages ago and I cant remember what its from. Just wondering if theres a way i can tell what model's air con I have? I can post pics if that helps... Cheers.
