Smart AC Guide: Summers have started and ACs have started running in homes. To cool the room in summer, it is not enough to just run the AC or cooler, it is also very important to take proper care of them. If you take proper care of your AC, it will work for you for years and give you good service. There are many ways by which the health of the AC can be maintained and it can be made to last longer. With the help of Smart AC Guide, you can keep your AC working for a long time and at the same time your electricity bill will also reduce. So know what things should be kept in mind while running AC.
Choosing the right temperature
The correct temperature while running the AC is between 24 to 26 degrees and this not only increases the life of the AC but also keeps your electricity bill under control to a great extent. This temperature also does not put much stress on the AC compressor which comes when running at 16 or 18 degrees. If you want to cool the room quickly, you can first keep the AC fan speed on high for 8-10 minutes and then reduce it to normal. Apart from this, there should be complete arrangements to ensure that the air does not come out through the windows and doors of the room so that the AC does not put too much pressure in cooling the room. To ensure that the cooling of the room is not reduced, keep the gap closed with curtains etc.
Regular servicing of AC
Getting your AC serviced twice a year is a good way to prolong the life of your AC. If you cannot get it done twice, then you should get it serviced at least once. Due to this, its cooling performance remains good and it runs smoothly. Before the summer season starts, it is very important to get the AC serviced because after being off for 8-9 months, dirt gets accumulated in it and if any fungus or moisture is present then it needs to be cleaned.
Do not switch on and off again and again
Frequent switching on and off puts pressure on the compressor and the AC has to consume more power. In such a situation, there is a chance of the AC getting damaged, for this, run the AC at appropriate temperature so that it does not have to be switched on and off too often.
Regular cleaning of filter
The air filter of the AC should be cleaned every 20-25 days because with continuous use the air filter of the AC gets dirty and puts pressure on the compressor. This gives a chance to the AC to get damaged before long use, so such mistake should be avoided.
Keep the outdoor unit clean and safe
The outdoor unit of the split AC which is kept outside should also be taken care of as it may get clogged with dust, soil or dry leaves which may obstruct the air flow. Apart from this, if you keep it outside in the sun, then take care of its safety and if possible
Keep it in the shade so that there is no fear of it getting snapped.
Do not run AC continuously
Running the AC from morning to night and then from night to morning is not at all advisable and running it continuously for 10-12 hours can affect its cooling capacity. Apart from this, the compressor can also be affected, so avoid such mistake.
