7 tips

for the intelligent use of the air conditioner in summer
Torrid heat and record temperatures, but also skyrocketing bills and summer flu: havoing an air conditioning system has become very important for indoor comfort at home and in the office, but it is good to follow some precautions to avoid unpleasant incidents, such as:
- High energy consumption, which consequently translates into very high bills and useless waste of money
- Health hazards, as frozen air at home in summer could cause bronchitis, cough, asthma and even obesity
Following these 7 tips for intelligent use of the air conditioner, you can save many and gaining health!
1. The right energy class
2. The "dehumidifier" function
An excellent solution to combat heat without excessively cooling the environment is to use the "dehumidifier" mode. In general, all the new air conditioners have this function. Lowering the humidity allows the environment to be refreshed naturally. However, for this function to be effective, the humidity value should be between 40% and 60%.
3. Take advantage of air flow
Try to take advantage of the natural outdoor air each day. In particular, take advantage of it during the less hot hours of the day, ie early in the morning and late at night, keeping doors and windows open.
This operation is not necessary for those who have a controlled mechanical ventilation system. Clivet's ELFOFresh, for example, has a free-cooling function, which makes it possible to exploit outdoor air at a more favorable temperature by operating only the fans. In this case the air introduced is filtered, avoiding the intake of external pollutants into the house.
5. Avoid using appliances that produce heat
Another piece of advice that will allow you to reduce the consumption of the air conditioner and avoid the increase of heat in the rooms at home, is to avoid the assiduous use of appliances that produce heat, such as dishwashers, washing machines and ovens. Use washing machines and dishwashers at nights.
7. Filters always clean
Check the system filters at least once a year. If the air conditioner is used continuously, the air filter must also be changed every two months, while the refrigerant gas must be checked once a year.
In fact, dirty filters will cause an increase in gas and current consumption. Cleaning them is also essential to prevent the formation of mold and bacteria, which could cause health problems by nesting.
