Glenden town services Air conditioner use Air conditioning is a heavy use of electricity and sensible usage is encouraged. As each householder requires varying temperatures for their air conditioning to operate, the following general guidelines should assist with efficiency and comfort requirement from air conditioning. the recommended temperature for air conditioning to operate is 23°C - 25°C. Keep external windows and doors closed, as well as the toilet and bathroom doors, as this prevents the warm outside air entering and mixing with conditioned air. try to block direct sunlight penetration through windows i.e. Draw curtains or blinds where applicable. If a high heat load is added to the house via the above means, the air conditioning will have problems in achieving temperatures required. Air conditioner filters should be regularly cleaned every two weeks, as clogged filters will dramatically drop efficiency of the unit. to clean the filters, you should shake loose dirt and lint or vacuum filter, rinse in cold water using liquid detergent, hose in clean cold water and shake off excess moisture. Wait until filter is dry before replacing.
