Here are some tips on how you can maintain your aircond to last longer:
- Washing the aircond filter often. After popping out the front grill of the unit with a putty knife, remove the mesh filter. Wash it together with the grill in a mixture of warm, soapy water and bleach to remove any mould.
- Put your aircond on fan mode for 15 minutes to blow dry the aircond before shutting it off. This will prevent unpleasant smells emitting from your aircond.
- Check the seal between the air-conditioner and the window frame to make sure it is in contact with the unit’s metal case. If there is a gap, cool air will escape from your house.
- To make the most of the cool air provided by your aircon, keep some blinds down or curtains drawn. Needless to say, you should never have any windows open while your aircon is running.
- Having a fan on while the aircon is running will ensure that the cool air is circulated more effectively.
- If you’re purchasing a new air-conditioner, ensure that it scores high on energy efficiency and look for one with an energy-saving mode. Aircond experts say that a good energy rating helps to save electricity, money and you also do your part to protect the environment.
