Unconscious error when using air conditioning
Many people unwittingly make the same mistake with the air conditioning in the summer, and the consequences are high accounts, headaches and colds. Find out what you must not do and how to cool yourself without risking your health. The worst thing you can do with your air conditioning is to turn it on at the lowest temperature when it’s hot. This not only increases energy consumption but also burdens the device, shortens its shelf life and can cause health problems due to sudden changes in temperature.
Summer is coming, temperatures rise, and air conditioners become our best allies in the fight against heat. But still, many of us make the same very harmful mistake as soon as we enter a heated apartment-include the air conditioning to a minimum, often 16 or 18 degrees. It’s a quick solution, but at the same time, it’s the worst possible thing for your device, your electricity account and your health. When the temperature drops sharply, the air conditioner must operate in full steam, leading to the overload of the compressor-which can shorten the life of the device and contribute to huge electricity consumption-as the device is trying to quickly reach the given temperature. Sudden cooling of the body, in turn, can cause headaches, muscle aches, inflammation of the sinuses, and even colds in the middle of summer. The optimum difference between external and internal temperature should not be more than six to eight degrees. Everything is more than that is a shock to the body.
Set the temperature to 24–26 degrees – enough to cool the space and not endanger health. Use the « automatic » or « eco » function – to work more efficiently for the device. Do not direct cold air directly to you – especially as you sleep. Regularly clean the filters – at least once a month during the season. Before starting daily use, call a professional to clean and disinfect the indoor unit. Otherwise, by inhaling the accumulated bacteria and mold, you can endanger the health of the whole family.
