There are habits that have no reward or penalty, you always think that you are correct but actually it affects your family’s health and living expenses. So, before using the air conditioner, read a few small tips below, they will surely be very useful for your family.
1. Turn on at a low temperature
When it’s hot outside, step into the room and turn on the air conditioner. You always want the room to quickly cool down, so you usually set the temperature very low. However, this method causes the temperature in the room to drop suddenly, which can cause heat shock, dizziness, and fatigue.
In addition, setting the temperature low causes the air conditioner to use all its power, leading to faster damage and higher electricity costs.
The advice is to set the temperature slightly lower than the room temperature to always feel cool and relaxed.
2. Turn on the Dry Mode
A tip is to turn on the Dry Mode and activate a light fan to reduce electricity costs, while helping to disperse the air faster and make the room cooler. However, in reality, this mode is suitable for rainy days and high humidity. This mode helps ventilate the room by acting as a dehumidifier.
On hot sunny days with low humidity, if you turn on the Dry Mode, it will surely make everyone uncomfortable and definitely increase electricity costs when using a fan.
Not using the appropriate mode for weather conditions.
3. Continuously adjust the temperature
Many people have a habit of continuously adjusting the temperature to suit the body. Frequent adjustments can disrupt the operation of the air conditioner. It is recommended to maintain a stable temperature level to reduce electricity consumption and prolong the lifespan of the air conditioner.
Continuous temperature adjustment.
4. Regularly close the doors
Turning on the air conditioner means closing the doors tightly to prevent cold air from escaping, which saves electricity. However, the reality shows that if you continuously use the air conditioner in a small room, you will always feel tired and suffocated, as if there is no oxygen to breathe. Therefore, the best way is to create a small gap for air circulation. Choose a new generation air conditioner with air filtering and antibacterial features to ensure good ventilation as if you were breathing.
5. Neglecting regular maintenance
The air conditioner brings in air from outside and expels hot air along with dirt. Therefore, in a short period of time, if you don’t use an air filter and regularly maintain the machine, it may still run well but can cause respiratory diseases for users. If not used for a long time, it will easily cause the air conditioner to break down quickly and consume more electricity.
Not cleaning the air conditioner regularly will cause respiratory diseases for family members.
6. Putting a bowl of water in the air-conditioned room
Many families have the habit of putting a bowl of water in the air-conditioned room to add humidity. However, this method is known to be dangerous for health because the water vapor will attract dust and bacteria, causing diseases.
Many people also buy mist machines to add humidity, but this is not necessary, especially for families with young children. Children inhaling a lot of water vapor in a high humidity environment is not good for their respiratory system and can cause pneumonia and cough…
7. Pouring water on the outdoor unit when the air conditioner is not cooling or cooling less
This common tip is quite dangerous, because when it’s hot, the air conditioner works a lot, which means the outdoor unit will get hotter. Pouring water on the outdoor unit can cause a short circuit, fire, and damage. Not to mention, after pouring water and turning on the air conditioner again, it will operate at the same high speed and capacity, so it won’t be effective. What you need to do is choose a cool location to place the outdoor unit.
