1. Regular Maintenance of Your Air Conditioner
2. Opt for an Air Conditioner with Appropriate Capacity for Your Room Size
Before purchasing an air conditioner, determine the room size that matches the required capacity to ensure efficient and energy-saving operation.
- For rooms under 15m²: 9000 BTU capacity is suitable.
- For larger rooms ranging from 15 to 20m², opt for an air conditioner with 12000 BTU capacity.
- Rooms ranging from 20 to 40m² are suitable for 18000 BTU capacity.
Using high-capacity dual-mode air conditioners in small spaces consumes excessive electricity. Conversely, small-capacity air conditioners in large rooms fail to efficiently cool or heat the area.
3. Avoid setting the air conditioner to excessively low temperatures.
Many people tend to rapidly lower the air conditioner to 16°C to 20°C after being outdoors in hot weather or switch to rapid cooling mode. This causes the air conditioner to operate at maximum capacity to reach the desired temperature, resulting in the relay of the air conditioner turning off the outdoor unit.
This leads to significant energy wastage by the air conditioner, and frequent sudden changes in capacity can reduce its lifespan. Moreover, sudden temperature changes can cause heat shock to your body, resulting in headaches and colds.
