Do I run my A/C on "fresh" or "recirc"?
#11
IF, I go out in the car today, you can bet I'll need that little bit of extra cooling that the recirculation setting will give.
#12
Don't forget to run the blower for a few minutes with the A/C off before you park your HHR on a humid day. Doing that helps prevent mold growth on the evaporator, and the possibility of having "stinky" A/C.
It's a trick we use here in the Southland where mold growth in automotive HVAC systems is widespread.

(Wonder who how many actually does that)

There is an important reason to use the fresh air mode. The outside air is going to be more oxygen rich, which helps to keep the driver more alert. This is why the majority of cars default back to outside air rather than recirculate.

All cars that I have had default to fresh air when started, unless they have climate control, then it will switch to recirculate automatically based on the the temperature difference between the thermostat setting and the actual cabin air temperature.
