When the evaporator absorbs heat from the moist air, the water vapors in the air condenses into water droplets. This, in effect, will reduce the humidity in the air being blown out of the air conditioner.
You should always plug an aircon in to a properly grounded permanent socket – no ifs, no buts. Here are the reasons why.
For starters, an electric fan costs 80% less vs. an aircon, and it uses only 5.4% of the energy an AC uses per hour. Read our deep dive here.
Most technicians will agree that replacing the whole refrigerator itself may be wiser than repairing or even replacing the compressor.
The buzzing noise that you’re hearing may be coming from loose parts or from small debris lodged in your aircon. It could also be because the wiring has gone bad. Whatever it is, you should take action right away to prevent further damage to your air conditioner.
Using data from Meralco, we’ve computed that the average power consumption of electric fans is 0.0642 kWh. Which means it costs ₱0.63/hour. Read our deep dive here.
A little bit of water leaking from the aircon is normal. Condensation forms on the evaporator of the AC as a by-product of its operation. However, if the leak is severe, there may be something wrong with your unit.
To put it simply, a window type aircon is easier to install, cheaper upfront, and easier to maintain versus a split type aircon. However, they tend to be noisier, slower to cool, and less aesthetically pleasing.
If you think you’re dealing with an aircon that is leaking Freon, call a professional immediately so as to limit the damage to your air conditioner and to your health.
Always solve the problem at the root whenever it manifests itself. If you don’t the ice may damage the interior of the aircon, leading to more expensive repairs.
