Frequently Asked Questions

Q: If my air conditioner fails to run what should I do?
A: First check if it is plug into any functional socket, check if the fan control is switched to OFF, check if the thermostat setting has been set correctly, and see if the local area is experiencing power outage.
Q: Is it alright to connect the air conditioner to an extension cord?
A: No, using a cord extension may result in fire, death, or electrical shock which is dangerous. It is best to plug the unit straight into a grounded outlet wall socket.
Q: Air filter cleaning frequency and advice?
A: Normally one air filter should be checked and cleaned when needed at least every two weeks.
Q: What maintenance does the air conditioner need?
Answer: Once a year coils are inspected, cleaned, the fan, motor and controls are checked, and everything is tested to see if it is functioning properly.
Q: What to do if the air conditioner was purchased for better cooling and does not do that?
A: Ensure that the fan and evaporator and condenser coils are not obstructed and check whether the air filter is clean. Check fan and thermostat control settings and adjust them when necessary.
