Air conditioners are notoriously expensive to operate, which is why picking an energy-efficient model from the get-go is a wise decision. If you are looking for an energy-efficient window type aircon, you should consider getting an inverter model. While an inverter air conditioner can save you as much as 15% more energy compared to a non-inverter window … Read more
The allergic rhinitis is not caused by the aircon per se, rather it is the allergens being circulated by the AC that is causing the attack.
The bad smell coming from your aircon may come from different sources. It may be a dirty filter, a clogged drain line, burnt electronics, or dead critters that somehow got inside your unit.
As the very least, you should clean your air conditioner’s filter once every three months. However, it is also recommended to check on the filter once every two weeks to clear any buildup as it happens.
In most cases, keeping the aircon vent closed is a good idea as it saves energy. However, you should open the vents to refresh the indoor air.
To put it simply, an air cooler is easier to install, generally cheaper up front, and costs less to operate, however their cooling performance is found wanting, and the humidity they add to the indoor air can be quite uncomfortable.
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.
