Optimal AC Usage: Duration and Best Practices

While AC units can technically operate non-stop, continuous use for extended periods is not advisable. It leads to increased electricity consumption and can negatively impact the AC’s efficiency and lifespan. It’s best to limit AC operation to around 8-10 hours at a stretch, followed by a break of an hour or two. Another method to manage continuous usage is to slightly adjust the temperature upwards. This reduces the workload on the compressor and helps avoid potential issues. For optimal performance and energy efficiency, maintain the AC’s temperature between 23-24 degrees Celsius. During the monsoon season, utilize the dry mode to prevent humidity buildup and ensure proper AC functionality.
