Things you should do for your air-cond

Things you SHOULD do for your air-cond.

1. Service and maintain your air-conditioner regularly.

• Clogged filter may freeze up the coil, reduce airflow and cooling capacity.
• Clean the filter once every two weeks, with vacuum cleaner, or by tapping lightly and washing in lukewarm water (below 40° C) with neutral soap.
• Remove any dirt that may clog between the fins at least once a month.
• At least once every two years, check the gas pressure, wiring connection and running current.
• Clean the blower fan and chemical cleaning for the coil, if necessary.

2. Set the thermostat between 22° C - 26° C for optimum comfort without overcooling the room.

3. Turn on the air-conditioner early.

• If you expect a hot day, it is better to turn on the air-conditioner early rather than wait until the room is hot. That way, it will be easier to cool the room.

4. Keep the room temperature uniform.

• Adjust the vertical and horizontal vanes to ensure good coverage of airflow to the room and to distribute uniform temperature.

5. Install indoor unit at a position where airflow is evenly distributed.

6. Ensure that there is no irregularity on the power plug and socket.

• If the plug is loosely plugged or there is any damage to the electrical wire cord, danger of short circuiting is great.

7. Remove the power plug when the unit is not used for a long time.

8. Place your outdoor unit at a shady place.

• This would ensure higher efficiency.
• Also make sure there is no obstruction to the airflow coming out of the outdoor unit.

9. Make sure your air-conditioner is protected with a starter.

• Tenaga Nasional Berhad regulation requires a starter to limit running current as well as to act as a default-off switch.
• A starter will prevent fire hazards as a result from overloading and over current.
