Which air conditioner can be used in winter?
Not all air conditioners can be used in winter. Currently, there are two types of air conditioners: single-split air conditioners and multi-split air conditioners. Single-split air conditioners do not increase room temperature, they only cool the room. Therefore, single-split air conditioners are not used for heating in winter.
Multi-split air conditioners work based on the principle of heating (or cooling) through heat exchange. You can adjust the temperature of the multi-split air conditioner to warm or cool your room. Therefore, only multi-split air conditioners can be used for heating in winter.

The temperature setting of the air conditioner in winter is based on the outdoor temperature. Therefore, for questions like “what temperature should the air conditioner be set to in winter?” or “what temperature should the multi-split air conditioner be set to?”, the answer is: You should only adjust the air conditioner temperature to be 5 to 10 degrees Celsius higher than the outdoor temperature. Generally, you adjust the air conditioner temperature to above 20 degrees Celsius if the outdoor temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, and adjust it to above 25 degrees Celsius if the outdoor temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius.
For the elderly, infants, and young children, you also need to adjust the air conditioner temperature appropriately to ensure the health of the users and save energy. So, what is the appropriate winter air conditioner temperature for infants, young children, and the elderly? META.vn will share that below.
Winter air conditioner temperature for infants
In the mother’s womb, the baby is always warm with the mother’s body temperature at around 37.5 – 38 degrees Celsius. When born, infants have to adapt to changes in the outside temperature, so they are very susceptible to cold if not carefully taken care of. So, what is the appropriate winter air conditioner temperature for infants?
If the baby is wearing full clothes, including mittens, socks, hats, and thin blankets, you should turn on the air conditioner for infants at around 26 to 28 degrees Celsius to keep them warm without affecting their health.
In addition to adjusting the air conditioner temperature properly, you also need to keep the baby warm in the right way and protect the areas where they are prone to cold such as hands, feet, belly, and chest.
For older children (from 30 days old and above), they have a faster development and release more heat than in the newborn stage. You should adjust the air conditioner temperature as follows:
On very cold days with an outdoor temperature of 5 – 10 degrees Celsius, you should adjust the air conditioner temperature to about 20 – 23 degrees Celsius.
For an outdoor temperature of 10 – 17 degrees Celsius, you only need to adjust the temperature about 5 – 7 degrees Celsius higher than the outdoor temperature to make the baby the most comfortable.
According to child health experts, the indoor temperature in winter should be maintained at 25 – 28 degrees Celsius.
Older people usually have diseases related to blood pressure, and sudden and continuous changes in temperature greatly affect their health. Therefore, besides complying with the rules of adjusting the air conditioner temperature in winter, you should not constantly turn the air conditioner on and off for rooms with elderly people.
