ACC's

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

An ACC is an automatic climate control which is to say a unit that controls the operation of your vehicle air conditioning system automatically. You set the desired temperature and maybe the blower speed and it did the rest for you. Here you are talking of something between 50 and 150 US dollars and that's the volume price. Try buying one at your local service centre and you are talking about 3 to 5 times more.

We made a lot of these in the company I managed before retirement and they earned me a lot of money. But do you need one? No!

I've got a small car now and it has a manually controlled heater/aircon panel. So when I feel a bit warm, I turn it down and when I feel a bit cold, I turn it up. Easy innit. And it costs about a third of the price of the ACC.
