We are in the middle of summer, with very high temperatures in most of Chile, which is why the air conditioners They are also being used a lot these days, both in homes, offices, stores, restaurants, etc.
The increase in use at this time makes us question what precautions we should take around this device, since maintaining the necessary care will give you security, as well as energy efficiency and care for your health.
1.Choose carefully which air conditioner you will use:
They are divided into three types according to the type of fluid from which they are “nourished”: air, water or refrigerators. Those that work based on air are the classics: there is the split that is attached to a wall, a floor or ceiling, and there is the portable air conditioning.
The first one generally works better, however, it is more expensive to install, unlike the portable air conditioning which is a good solution for those who rent apartments or houses. You can buy it at any department store and make it work with just a little installation.
In addition, there are those that work on water, which heats or cools the water and thus the air, but they are more complicated to install.
It is also important to consider the technology they use and how that can affect energy efficiency, for example those that are inverter turn off automatically when they reach the desired temperature, which makes them more energy friendly.
2.Keep your air conditioning filter clean:
This allows you to take care of your health and that of the people who will breathe the air. It is recommended to clean it every two weeks and at most once a month if it is not being used very often.
To clean the filters you can use a vacuum cleaner or with water, however a pressure washer It is a very good idea because it combines these two characteristics and has better washing power. You can also add neutral detergent so that it dissolves in the water and thus ensures a deep cleaning.
The good thing about pressure washer It will also be useful for many other devices when cleaning, such as tools, cars, bicycles, facades, etc. Finally, leave the air conditioning filter to dry in the shade.
3. Ventilate once a day:
Every time we turn on the air conditioning we look for a certain temperature in that space, however, ventilation is key. Opening windows or doors at least once a day allows air to circulate and not constantly breathe the same thing.
4. Cables and plugs in good condition:
Try to make sure that the cables and plugs are not too visible and in good condition. Especially when you are going to clean or perform any maintenance, make sure everything is unplugged.
Also, take into consideration whether or not it meets minimum energy efficiency standards. How to verify it? They range from A to the letter G, this is based on cold mode and the higher the arrow is, the more efficient the air conditioning will be.
5. Do not leave within reach of children:
Finally, take the necessary care to protect children from air conditioners or fans. Sometimes they can pull on the cables and fall on them or cut themselves on something.
These are some of the tips provided by the Chilean government to be safe during this very hot time.
