As the hot summer approaches, everyone’s demand for air conditioning is bound to increase. How to save electricity bills has become the key. In addition to developing good electricity usage habits, regular air conditioning cleaning is also an important part.
The home appliance cleaning brand “Zhilejia” pointed out that if the air conditioner is used for a long time and accumulates too much dust, the air conditioner efficiency may deteriorate. When the outdoor compressor detects that the temperature is not low enough, it will continue to operate, resulting in a significant increase in electricity bills. Cleaning the air conditioner regularly not only helps human health, it can blow out clean air and save a lot of electricity bills. According to our own statistics, regular air-conditioning cleaning every year actually saves up to 12% of the electricity bill each month, and extends the service life of the air-conditioning and filter. Taking a household with a monthly electricity bill of 3,000 yuan in summer as an example, regular air-conditioning cleaning can save up to 12% on average per month. Save 170 yuan.
Wang Jizhi, a senior home appliance cleaning technician at Smart Home, shared that the focus of air conditioner cleaning is divided into seven parts: the fuselage, filter, fins, air drum, air outlet, water collecting tray, and outdoor unit. The following five NGs should be avoided during cleaning. matter.
1: Be sure to turn off the main power supply when cleaning. If you only unplug the plug and the main power switch is not turned off, clean water will flow down into the socket. The two-phase voltage and current will short-circuit, causing an arc explosion and the risk of electric shock to personnel. The air conditioner board may also be damaged. Broken due to electric shock.
2: Brushing the air-conditioning filter vigorously or exposing it to the sun after washing will cause embrittlement and reduce the life of the filter.
Three: Electronic parts are not properly protected, causing them to be immersed in water during cleaning and become rusted or damaged.
Four: The ingredients and acidity and alkalinity were not taken into consideration when selecting the agent, causing damage to the air conditioner fins.
Five: Failure to completely dry after cleaning may cause mold to grow. It is recommended to turn on the air supply mode for 1-2 hours after cleaning, and then turn off the machine after the internal moisture is dried.
The air-conditioning cleaning procedure is quite complicated and professional. People often can only clean the easily removable filter by themselves, but ignore other important parts. As a result, there are still odors or dust mites after cleaning. If people are unable to clean it properly, it is best to seek professional assistance to avoid damaging the air conditioner or being unable to install it back after dismantling it by yourself.
