AC Care Tips: Due to the scorching heat, there is now a need to run the AC for a long time. Many people start getting upset if the AC is off for a while, while some people sit in the room with the AC on for several hours. It is very hot, but running the AC continuously for hours can be dangerous. You must have heard that everything needs rest, be it a human or a machine. In the same way, the air conditioning system installed in your house also needs rest. However, most people do not know how long the AC should be run or when it should be kept off. If you also do not know, then in this news, we are going to tell you about this.
What are the disadvantages of running the AC continuously?
If the AC is run continuously, its system becomes very hot. Here, the system means the compressor, which becomes very hot due to the continuous running of the AC. The AC also needs to rest and cool down for a while. If you do not give time to the AC time to cool down, it will start overheating. Let us tell you that overheating of the AC can be very dangerous. Last year, there were many reports of AC overheating and compressor blast, in which, in some cases, people even lost their lives. Therefore, run the AC, but also keep in mind how to run it properly.
How long can you run the AC continuously?
For this information, when we investigated the official website of AC manufacturing companies, we found that the time to run AC is also different according to the ton. If you have a 1-ton AC installed in your room, then there will be no problem running it continuously for 8-10 hours. On the other hand, if the AC is of 1.5 tons, then it can be run continuously for 11-12 hours, but after this, you should turn off the AC and give it some rest. After running the AC for 8-9 hours, keep it off for 10 minutes. This will give time to the hot compressor to cool down, and you will get even better cooling from the AC. By running the AC in this way, the risk of overheating also reduces to a great extent.
Also, keep these things in mind.
If you are thinking of installing a split AC, then install its compressor unit in a place where there is less sunlight. This will prevent the compressor from heating up quickly. Do not install the AC compressor unit in a closed place. Always install it in an open place where there is air circulation.
