What is the right temperature to set the air conditioner?

 

Depending on the weather conditions, choosing the right air conditioner temperature will help you feel more comfortable and relaxed. Check out the article below to find out what the highest and lowest temperatures of the air conditioner are, and then adjust accordingly!

1. What is the lowest and highest temperature of the air conditioner?

Lowest temperature

The cooling capacity of each air conditioner line is different, depending on the capacity, brand and integrated cooling technology. Normally, the lowest temperature of air conditioner lines on the market is 16 - 18 degrees Celsius

Maximum temperature

The maximum temperature of air conditioners ranges from 30 - 32 degrees Celsius. However, you should not use the maximum temperature limit so that the compressor can operate stably and ensure that your body feels comfortable and pleasant.

2. Choosing the right air conditioner temperature

On hot days, people often tend to set the air conditioner temperature too low, below 20 degrees Celsius to cool quickly. However, you should adjust the room temperature to be about 5 degrees Celsius different from the outside to avoid negative effects on your health.

In addition, if you have just come back from outside, you should not set the air conditioner temperature to the lowest level. Because this not only wastes electricity when the air conditioner has to operate at full capacity to cool at the highest level, but also has negative effects on health such as "heat shock".

Experts recommend setting the air conditioner at 25 - 28 degrees Celsius is best for our health, especially for rooms with infants and young children, it should be set at 28 - 30 degrees Celsius.

3. Why does the air conditioner not reach the set temperature?

When using the air conditioner, sometimes your home appliance does not reach the set temperature. The cause of this situation may be due to:

The evaporator temperature sensor is broken.

The air conditioner has been used for a long time without being cleaned or maintained, causing the evaporator to become dusty and the cool air cannot escape. Therefore, the device does not reach the desired temperature.

The cooling mode is not set correctly.

The air conditioner is low on gas or has a gas leak, causing the cooling capacity to weaken.

The compressor of the device is damaged.

4. Some notes to help the air conditioner maintain the standard temperature

In addition, there are some other small tips that you should note:

You should choose the night sleep mode of the air conditioner so that the room temperature gradually increases to the desired level. This mode helps us to have a deep sleep, at the same time, saving electricity effectively.

You should arrange the location of the air conditioner in the room so that the cold air does not blow directly on people, especially children to avoid health problems such as pneumonia, cough, ...

You should use a ventilation fan when turning on the air conditioner and do not let the room get too humid.

Do not use the air conditioner continuously, or turn it on/off suddenly for a long time.

Do not use the air conditioner when you have a fever or sweat. This will cause a cold and can make the illness worse.

Always clean the room and clean the air conditioner to reduce bacteria, mold, and dirt in the room.
