What is the difference between central AC, split AC and window AC?
Central ACs have a large cooling capacity and they are used for buildings. Central ACs are more energy-consuming, but more efficient. Where split and window ACs, have a small capacity (less than 65,000 BTU), and they are used for individual rooms. Split AC is more efficient than window.
Does split AC purify air from dust when dry mode is on?
It depends on the technology used within the AC, Dry mode is for dehumidification, each manufacturer uses different technology in this field, so we recommend that you refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
What is the appropriate temperature for heating and saving energy in split AC?
The higher the temperature, the higher the consumption, so there is no such temperature.
When is it recommended to clean split AC and window AC?
We recommend cleaning the filter every two weeks, and cleaning the interior and exterior radiator once or twice a year.
What are the advantages in different air conditioners when the air conditioning levels are the same but the prices are different?
There will be other additional features
What is the suitable air conditioner capacity for the room?
The appropriate cooling capacity depends on the size of the room, number of users, the quality of thermal insulation, and consumption nature, it is advised to refer to the engineering office or the manufacturer in this regard.
Does turning AC on and off consume a lot of energy each time?
When you turn on the AC, it will consume a larger amount of energy in a very short time, after that the consumption will be normal, and will consume energy throughout the operating period, so we recommend turning it off if it is no longer needed or when leaving the place.
Does AC consume more energy on fan mode?
The fan mode raises energy consumption, but it's not comparable to the compressor consumption at the operation time.
Does the compressor continue to work if the temperature is below 20 degrees?
The higher the temperature of the air conditioner, the less effort is required from the compressor to reach this temperature, so it works for shorter periods.
How to set window ACs that do not have a temperature indicator or a scale of 1-9 on 24 degree?
It is recommended to place the cursor in the middle.
If it is written that the annual consumption is 12204 kilowatts per year on the AC, does that means if it works all year without shutting down, then this is its consumption?
This is an approximate consumption figure, assuming the air conditioner is running at an average of 2,700 hours per year.
What is meant by the annual energy consumption on the energy efficiency label?
It means the average energy consumption per year on the basis of operation (2700 hours), or 7 and a half hours per day.
