In the dry scorching heat of summer an air cooler can also make your home a bearable place to live in. However, with the coming of the monsoon season, air conditioners become even more essential.
Earth’s tilted position in relation to the sun, triggers the coming of the southwest monsoon. This annually recurring weather phenomenon brings in humidity in the air. An air conditioner, at this time, besides cooling also soaks the humidity and makes the entire indoor environment less stuffy.
The biggest problem faced with the onslaught of monsoon season is dirty air conditioner filters. With humidity skyrocketing, dust storms become a common phenomenon before the heavy rains, which gets into your home’s air filters. This will not only make your home warmer, but also increase your energy costs even if your air conditioning unit is star rated.
Clean your air filters
Cleaning of the air filters help your air conditioning system perform better and most importantly prevents toxins and excess dust from mounting up in your home. Monthly inspection of air filters is the best way to prevent them from becoming too dirty and contribute to its smooth operation. It is also essential to get the condensation line examined at regular intervals to prevent damage to floors, walls, and ceilings of the house.
During a thunderstorm, lightning can travel through the household wires and damage important home electronics. So next time you experience a complete or partial power breakdown, unplug the air conditioner. This will protect the AC machines from voltage fluctuations and also prevent circuit overloads when the power returns.
With unpredictable climate changes in recent years, it has become imperative to increase appeal of a seasonal product throughout the year. Therefore, air conditioners have become imperative during monsoon as well. A little care and regular maintenance can help your AC perform to the best of its ability and keep your monsoon stress-free.
