Air conditioner maintenance tips

Choose the appropriate temperature:

One of the most common mistakes when operating air conditioners, whether to get coolness or heat, is setting the temperature to the lowest/highest degree. For example, many people set the temperature in the summer to 16 degrees Celsius, and this is a big mistake, and causes an increase in the electricity bill in addition to consumption. The air conditioner runs at its maximum capacity, so try to set it to a temperature of 19-21 degrees Celsius when cooling, and to heat it you must run it at a temperature of 26-28 degrees Celsius.

Use a fan to circulate air:

Running the fans helps distribute and circulate the air greatly, and helps with faster cooling. Therefore, we advise you to use a cooling fan, especially if the outside temperatures are very high. This helps to obtain the required coolness easily and quickly, and increases the efficiency of the air conditioner and does not load it with high energy. It also It helps save electricity significantly.

Room closing provisions:

The capabilities of the air conditioners are proportional to the spaces of the rooms. A small air conditioner will not be able to cool an area larger than its capacity. Rather, it will lead to an increase in the electricity bill and the air conditioning voltage without obtaining any cooling/heating. Therefore, try to limit the place you want to cool/warm in proportion to the size of the air conditioner.

Air conditioner location:

Also make sure that the thermostat or air outlet vents from the air conditioner are in a suitable place and that the thermostat is not exposed to sunlight or placed near a hot lamp or other devices that emit a high temperature, as this could cause it to give false readings, and lead to To run the system more than necessary even if the place is cold, especially if you are away from the place during the day, you may not realize that the air conditioning system is doing additional work because the thermostat is placed in an inappropriate place.

Cleaning filters

One of the most important tips for maintaining air conditioning at home is that, as a minimum, you must clean the air filter in the central air conditioner once when the air conditioning starts operating in the summer, or every 3 months if the air conditioning is running all year round, or once a month if the air conditioning system is running all the time. Without interruption in the workplace or at home. Neglecting this procedure leads to weak air flow or even freezing of the Freon coil responsible for cooling. Such a procedure increases the efficiency of the air conditioner by 5-15% and leads to a significant saving of electricity.
