Are you shutting off the AC properly, a small mistake can cost you heavily

We all use AC in summer. Do you know that shutting down the AC incorrectly can damage its components quickly? Along with this, the cooling capacity of the AC is also affected. These problems can be avoided by shutting down the AC properly. Here we are giving you information about it.

Technology Desk, New Delhi. The summer season has begun. With this, the need for air conditioners (AC) increases. Usually, as the temperature increases in summer days, the habit of using AC also starts deteriorating. If you make a small negligence while using AC, it can invite big expenses. Repairing AC is very expensive. To avoid this expense, you should take some precautions while switching off the AC.

Do not turn off the AC directly from the power switch

Many times users directly switch off the AC using the power switch. This is not the right way at all. If you switch off the AC like this every day, then the chances of it getting damaged increases. The best way to switch off both window AC and split AC is to first switch it off using the remote.

Due to this, all the components of the AC like compressor, fan stop working gradually. However, when the power is switched off directly, all the components stop working at once, which can cause serious damage to the AC.

The compressor might be bad

The most important component of any air conditioner is the compressor. Whenever we turn off the AC by directly switching off the power, the maximum pressure falls on the compressor. Usually, whenever the power goes off, the AC compressor is under a lot of pressure. This is the reason why we should not turn off the AC directly. If the AC compressor gets damaged, it will not cool properly. Along with this, repairing it is also expensive.

Cooling will be affected

Repeatedly shutting off the AC in the wrong way can reduce the cooling capacity. Along with this, the compressor can also get damaged, due to which the AC will not work properly. That is, the cooling of the AC will reduce and the electricity bill can also increase.

Motor and fan may also be bad

Switching off the AC in the wrong manner can not only damage the compressor but also the motor and fan. Switching off the AC suddenly can cause problems in its working process, which reduces its life span. In such a situation, ACs get damaged quickly.

Risk of short circuit

Repeatedly switching off the air conditioner in the wrong manner also puts a load on the power socket and switch. This also increases the risk of the switch getting fused or a short circuit in the circuit board.

What is the correct way to switch off the AC?

Always use the remote to turn off the AC. Whenever you turn off the AC with the remote, its internal components turn off without any damage. Once all the components stop working, only then turn off the power. The simple way is that when any kind of sound stops coming from the AC, then you have to turn off the power.

By shutting down the AC properly, you can increase its life. Along with this, its cooling will not be affected and you will also get relief from electricity bills and repair expenses.
