With the onset of summer in India, tips to enhance AC cooling efficiency during the heatwave have been shared, offering relief to those struggling with inadequate cooling.

To pre-cool your room, turn on the ceiling fan and open windows for 5-10 minutes before using the AC, allowing hot air to escape.

Modern air conditioners now feature a turbo mode. Keeping it on for the first 20 minutes allows the compressor and fan to operate at high speed for faster cooling.

During heatwaves, increased dust can clog AC air filters. Regular cleaning every week is recommended to maintain optimal cooling efficiency.

To optimize cooling, adjust AC swing angle upwards, as cool air descends. This ensures better airflow and faster cooling of the entire room.

To improve cooling, lightly spray water on the outdoor unit if the AC compressor is overheating. This helps in dissipating heat effectively.

Seal doors to block gaps and prevent warm air from entering, ensuring the room remains cool for a longer period.
