Air conditioning maintenance tips to stay cool this summer - Times of India

Summer came early. India's weather agency announced a heatwave in the Konkan regions including Mumbai, the daily heat index shows a worrying trend. Temperatures and humidity are rising in the northern and central states. Therefore, many major brands are launching refrigeration equipment such as air conditioners with advanced features for changing weather conditions.

Even before the season, the industry sees growing demand for air conditioning. In order to ensure a pleasant and healthy indoor climate without putting a strain on the wallet, it is essential to be aware of the correct use of air conditioning systems.

Some ideal and essential tips that can make a big difference in this summer season.

Consider Energy Star qualification the important aspect

In order to save consumers money in the long term, brands are developing innovative inverter air conditioners with higher stars, allowing them to save up to 20-30% electricity compared to a traditional air conditioner. The yellow label on the front of the air conditioner contains all the information including the stars, ISEER and the unit's electricity consumption in one year. The number of stars represents the invested energy consumption; The higher the number of stars, the lower the power consumption.

The star rating is the most important aspect to consider when planning the purchase of an air conditioner. The decision to buy an air conditioner should be based on the required service life. In addition to efficiency, environmental compatibility is also a guarantee for the star rating. Therefore, for a longer product lifespan, it is recommended to choose a technologically up-to-date product with a higher star rating.

Ensure regular maintenance and choose the right location for your air conditioners

Due to the complex technical and mechanical system, regular maintenance of the air conditioning system is important. When purchasing an air conditioner, depending on the location, priority should be given to ease of maintenance. To ensure trouble-free operation of the equipment, routine checks and maintenance, the choice of brand plays an important role. To extend the life of an air conditioner, it is recommended to clean the AC air filters and wash the outdoor unit every 7 to 15 days. Neglecting to take basic measures can result in a 25% increase in utility bills.

Inverter technology and innovative functions for technology-savvy consumers

Consumer needs have changed the paradigm since the COVID scenario. Products with practical, intelligent and economical features are most preferred. As many working consumers aspire to the hybrid work model, they are now looking for products that will make their lives easier and connect them. For these reasons, the inverter air conditioner helps maintain the desired temperature for dry coastal regions. Another advantage is that less energy is used depending on the distance of the room from the warm outside air. Eliminating unnecessary air conditioner operations is another of the best features of inverter air conditioners. Inverter air conditioners are matched to the speed of the compressors, providing more efficient and comfortable cooling.

The ideal air conditioning temperature is 24°C.

According to BEE guidelines, keeping the air conditioner temperature at 24°C is ideal to maintain the electrical load on the compressor, maintain temperature and reduce energy consumption. It is important to consider factors such as ambient temperature, outside temperature and AC temperature that can result in power consumption. This simple AC temperature adjustment technique can save about 23 billion units of electricity.

Good choice of location

Consumers often do not realize that the correct placement of air conditioners is not only important for aesthetic reasons. For optimal performance of the air conditioner, the size of the room and the amount of sunlight must be taken into account. The air conditioner needs adequate passage to dissipate the heat generated by the engine and compressor. This extra step also helps reduce power consumption.

In the current scenario, hygiene is paramount, leading brands to innovate their products to ensure a healthy environment. The advancement of technology has helped adapt it to the current times. Features include a plasma shield and fresh air ionizer. In summary, consumers are looking for connected, energy-efficient products that guarantee safety and hygiene.
