Beat the Kuala Lumpur Heat: A Detailed Guide to Keeping Your Aircon Running Efficiently

23 April 2024 M Saqib No Comments

The relentless heat of Kuala Lumpur makes staying cool an ongoing battle. Although cranking up your air cooling (AC) could seem like the only option, there are better strategies to ensure your house is at a comfortable temperature without sending your electricity bill into the sky. This guide will provide an approach that is two-pronged: increasing the efficiency of your AC and using innovative strategies to cut down on constant cooling.

Conquering the Heat Without Cranking the AC:

  • Utilize the Power of Natural Shading: Direct sunlight can be the biggest enemy of your air conditioner. Install blackout curtains and blinds to block south-facing windows. Think about installing window films to provide another layer of insulation. Cover them up in the heat in the morning (typically between the hours of 11 am and four after 4) in order to hold cool air in.
  • Accept Ceiling Fans Do not underestimate the effectiveness of a great ceiling fan. They are able to circulate cool air throughout the room. They create an effect of wind, which can cause you to feel a few degrees more relaxed, but without actually decreasing the temperature in your home.
  • The perfect dress for the season: Cotton and linen are the best companions for battling the summer heat. They allow greater airflow and will ensure that you stay hydrated. Get rid of synthetic fabrics that hold heat, making you sweat more.
  • Change the Thermostat Deliberately: Every degree counts! Adjusting your Thermostat by 2-3 degrees more than your normal setting can drastically decrease energy use. The optimal temperature range for energy efficiency lies between 24degC and 26degC.
  • Smart Showering: Make sure you choose cooler showers rather than hot ones. In addition to feeling rejuvenated, but you’ll be able to stop your bathroom from turning into a steamy room that adds unneeded warmth to your home.

Maintaining Your AC for Peak Performance:

  • Schedule Regular Cleaning: Filter obstruction is the most common cause of poor AC performance. A clear filter will allow efficient airflow, thus reducing the burden on your AC and keeping your electric bill low. This is the recommended frequency of cleaning:
    • Monthly: For homes with pets or dusty environments.
    • Every 2 to 3 months: Standard cleaning schedule in most households.
  • Do not forget the outdoor unit: The outdoor unit requires proper airflow in order to operate effectively. Clean up regularly leaves, twigs, and any other particles that are accumulated around the unit, as well as block the flow of air.
  • Keep an eye out for leaks: Refrigerant leaks are an extremely serious issue that could severely affect your AC’s performance and can even cause damage to the compressor. There are a few indicators to be aware of:
    • Hearing noises emanating from the unit.
    • An obvious decrease in the power of cooling.
    • A buildup of ice on the evaporator coils (indoor unit).

If you suspect that there is a leak present, don’t try to repair it yourself. Get in touch with a certified AC technician right away to avoid the possibility of further damage.
